Uncle and his pals are out there and say it was raining up top but I doubt they pushed over to the higher altitude as he's been having issues with his new-to-him 2015 XM.
Fuel pump was diagnosed as faulty and Turple's here in Red Deer replaced it for him. Ran fine up the trail and started acting up again (idles fine, dies on throttle). Upon inspection he found they'd put the filter on backwards and didn't bother to tighten the clamps :nono:

Ah I was talking to him on the trail down, he wasn't into a kitty tow truck

Thanks for offering to help! I'm sure he appreciated it.
Luckily they'd brought along his other sled just in case.

Literally dangling or like "can you dangle"? Came down a couple times last year and we came across some rock/ice climbers that were out there doing their thing. Kind of neat where they were.

No not like can ya dangle, lol like oh **** we are in a bad spot...and we can't dangle out of here... they came from the top side and got way down above the cliffs and looked out of good options if they couldn't side hill out from our vantage. One guy kept going down farther until he was right in the trees right on the top of the cliffs

Holy guacamole...that is not a place you wanna be. Not to mention it is in FWA Cat Ski tenure.
