[pct-l] Headlamps

[Stephen Adams]

I tried the Black Diamond "Cosmo" LED headlamp this summer and more  
recently on a Fall High Sierra trek.  Used it a couple nights actually  
hiking, once half way up the Golden Staircase along Palisade Creek,  
Crossed Taboose Creek at night with snow and ice, and every night  
around camp, and in the mornings.  SInce early July I have used it car  
camping to cook, read books and around the house a bit too, and still  
haven't changed the batteries.  Though anti-headlamp in the past, this  
little light made me a convert, and made life a little easier when I  
got trapped in the willow thickets along Cartridge Creek as it got  
dark.  I will still however make fun of anyone else with a light on  
their head :) !!!
