Mountaineering Equipment<br />

Inspection using professional mountaineering equipment may in<br />

some cases represent the only economic alternative to get close<br />

is considered as personal safety equipment and the use and maintenance<br />

is the responsibility of the person to whom it has been issued.<br />
