[pct-l] BAMM class abstracts should be put online

[ned at mountaineducation.org]

Sadly, Stephen, that observation is the norm despite years of warnings and
advice. I've been out there with my classes near Forester and watched other
thru hikers slip and fall and tumble down the slope with their ice axes
still strapped to their packs.

As a side note:  I met very few people at Kennedy Meadows last season
picking up snow gear there that had a reasonable clue what they were getting
into.  The most common response I received when asking if they knew how to
use an ice axe etc was something like they'd figure it out.  I don't even
remember seeing anyone with a leash or lanyard on their ice axe.  It seemed
kinda pahtetic
