Have you spoken with your wife, kids and mom about that scenario? Might ease the sting if the worst happens.Quote:

Sounds pleasant, what a nice thing to leave behind. Makes finding people's poops seem almost pleasant...
I'm pretty sure it ^^ would be in contravention of some environmental act to just leave a body up thar ?
Arguably in BC, the executor could be liable for not complying with the Cremation, Internment and Funeral Services Act that says a body has to be disposed of by internment in a proper place or cremation at a crematorium.
I was going to go full Viking flaming long boat funeral- until I looked it up. Now it will have to be my already cremated remains only.
Save money on a smaller boat though so that’s good.

Why? Because I do a full four function beacon check with my partners. I like D'BEST. Display, Electronics, Battery, Search, Transmit. Sure I could check Display and Battery when I turn it on at home but it's best to actually go through all of it with my partners so that we ALL know that everyone's beacon is fully functioning.
When I go solo I use my spare beacon at the trailhead to do the exact same check that I would do with others.
As for the "one less thing to forget" - a proper beacon check should never be a thing that you can forget.

Full report is out.
no avalanche rescue gear
no helmets were worn by the deceased
no radios to communicate among the group
no inreach or similar to communicate with outside resources
It's incomprehensible to me that this group was even up there attempting this objective in winter.
agree - it’s big objective and the group seemed to have some big objective experience….what tf were they doing up there without any avy gear/helmets/radioQuote:

A good number of the (much too large) party seems to have bailed early and returned to town, which gives some idea of the fractured group dynamics. Anyway...I'm just speculating based on available information, wondering what the hell happened and how anybody thought this was a good idea. It sucks.
