The time saved while in the water is one thing, plus there's one less thing to fail. The carabiner isn't going to freeze, but it might get a coating of ice on it that would make it difficult to use. As is the rope and any gear attached to it. -- Darryl *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
