Without members and donors like you, we would fall short F of accomplishing our goals. I recently came across some interesting statistics in the Outdoor Foundation’s annual Outdoor Recreation Participation Report. In 2008, 4.7 million people in the United States participated in bouldering, sport climbing, or indoor climbing, and 2.3 million people went trad climbing, ice climbing, or mountaineering. It is also interesting to note that less than 1% of these climbers are members of the Access Fund. And the majority of our support comes from membership. We are working on climbing issues all across the country, from California to Maine. While we have had many successes and our reach is broad, just imagine what would be possible if we were able to increase our membership base: more grants, more direct support of local climbing organizations, and, ultimately, more climbing areas open and protected. We could use your help. Chances are a number of your climbing friends and partners aren’t current Access Fund members. Please take a moment to tell them about our work and the impor- tance of joining us, not to mention benefits like discounts on gear, grants for local projects, timely information and alerts about local access issues, and a subscrip- tion to the Vertical Times. -
Simulating Headlamp Illumination Using Photometric Light Clusters

The visibility of an object at and light measurement (Adrian, 1998, pp. 181-88; Klein, night is largely due to the luminance contrast between 1992; Owens, 1989). the object and its background. This difference depends on many factors, one of which is the amount of However, replicating the lighting conditions under which illumination produced by a vehicle’s headlamps.

If one were able to digitally the headlamps can be evaluated. The paper introduces simulate the accident environment these constraints the underlying concepts and a methodology for could, in many cases, be eliminated. However, creating simulating, in a computer environment, a high-beam a simulated environment would have its own obstacles, headlamp using a computer generated light cluster.

Clothing List: Rock Climbing Day Trip
CLOTHING LIST: ROCK CLIMBING DAY TRIP When selecting clothing, an important consideration is the material. Cotton clothing does not keep you warm if it is wet and it takes a very long time to dry. This can be desirable on a hot, sunny day but can mean hypothermia on a cool, cloudy, breezy day. Wool and synthetic fabrics dry quickly and will keep you warm, even if they are wet. Several layers of clothing made of these materials are best. This allows you to add or remove layers as your activity level and the temperature change throughout the day. If you do not have everything on the list we encourage you to borrow items from Carolina Outdoor Education’s surplus clothing bin. We have rain gear and warm layers available. Make sure and let your Instructors know what you need at the pre-trip meeting. * - Indicates items available from Carolina Outdoor Education FOOTWEAR Approach Shoes: You will need lightweight hiking boots or sturdy tennis shoes for the steep, rocky approach to the climbing site. Tennis shoes can be used for climbing, as well. *Climbing shoes: Bring them, if you have them. We have some you can borrow, as well. CLOTHING T shirt: You will want a short sleeve shirt for climbing. *Warm layer: Medium or heavy-weight shirt or sweater made of fleece or wool. (WEATHER DEPENDENT) *Rain layer: You should bring raingear, in case we are caught in a storm and to help keep you warm. Pants/shorts: Dress for the weather. You may want to have a warm pair of pants over shorts, so you can adjust for the weather and activity level. -

Technical Information Light – Headlamps Technical Information Headlamps
Technical Information Light – Headlamps Technical Information Headlamps Tasks of frontlighting Headlamps illuminate the road space in front of the car and must meet the requirements of all road users. In particular, the low-beam functions are subject to legal regulations designed to protect oncoming traffic from being dazzled. “Making the night into day” by maximizing the light output is therefore subject to reasonable restrictions. Only within the scope of legal regulations can danger situations in the case of poor visibility be gradually defused by improving many parameters of headlamp technology. The following lighting functions can be combined in the headlamp: Functions for seeing 1 Low beam is available as a series product in addition to the standard function, as an extended function of the Variable Intelligent Lighting System construction kit, called VARILIS®: 1a Static bend lighting as an additional low beam element 1b Dynamic bend lighting as swiveling low beam 1c Cornering light is a lamp function from the point of approval regulations, but is often integrated into the headlamp. New lighting functions are ready for use in 2007. 2 High beam can also be designed in swiveling form as bend lighting, mainly in combined systems. To limit the maximal value on public road space, also in combi- nation with auxiliary driving lamps, the legislator has defined a reference number. In the field of rally and off-road driving, those restrictions are not relevant. For that kind of application, performance is limited only by technical basic conditions such as package space, temperature and available light sources. 3 Front fog light is also used as an auxiliary lamp. -
Automatic Headlamp Switching System Using Accelerometers
AUTOMATIC HEADLAMP SWITCHING SYSTEM USING ACCELEROMETERS Kai-Chi Chan and Yiu-Sang Moon Department of Computer Science and Engineering, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shatin, N.T., Hong Kong Keywords: Automobile, Night vision, Accelerometer, Alpha beta filter. Abstract: This paper presents a two-sensor method to enhance the nighttime driving safety. It consists of two accelerom- eters and an array of auxiliary swiveling headlamps. An alpha beta filter is proposed to stabilize the readings of the accelerometers. With the kinematics of a turning car, the cars turning path is predicted based on the steer- ing angle measured by the accelerometers so that the relevant auxiliary swiveling headlamps will be switched on accordingly. In this paper, we will study the performance of the alpha beta filter. Test results demonstrate that our angular measurement method is an efficient way for proper road illumination along curved paths. 1 INTRODUCTION immediately even if the drivers do not follow the path history or the digital map data is not up-to-date.

The concept of climbing a rock face, not necessarily reaching the top of the mountain, was a foreign concept that seemed trivial by comparison. However, by the late 1800s, rock climbing began to evolve into its very own sport. There are 3 areas credited as the birthplace of rock climbing: 1. -
