[at-l] A Noobie's Introduction (long)

[bcwatson]

That's good to know.  I'd don't mind scampering up 
a hill side or mountain where I might have to carefully 
maneuver boulders or whatever, but I think it would 
take away from "my" enjoyment if I had to strap on 
gear, carry ropes and carabineers, etc....

I really won't mind roughing it as much as necessary, 
I just want to be able to finish...  lol...
