It was good to see Lee there.

That does seem to happen a bit.

>** 3 administrations of first aid

About this one, my climbing partner needed some betadine which unfortunately neither of us were carrying and I went to see if Lee had any. Luckily she did, but it was from her personal first aid kit. I talked to her about it and she said it had been discussed that because potential lack first aid training of volunteers, a first aid kit wasn't provided. Is it possible that one is provided for people to use, but provision of an actual first aid at the discretion of the volunteer?

Weather updates were handy once my phone ran out of juice.

I think it was a really good thing.

Thanks Lee! Sucker for punishment though, definitely a job for those with more diplomacy than myself.
