Re: [pct-l] Altimeters, maps, compasses!
I have had, and used, four (4) altimeters. The Suunoto Vector, that I have
now, is the easiest to use. I have no idea if it is accurate as it says.
If you are just walking the PCT then an altimeter is fun but not really
required. I find it useful on the long climbs when I want to know how far
to the top and on the long sloaping valleys where I want to know how far
up/down I am.
For cross country work I wouldn't be without one.
