TOOL TIP:Altimeters are very useful to the alpinist and mountain climber as an effective tool for determining your position & forecasting a change in the local weather. Altimeters detect variations in barometric pressure which drop when a storm moves in or you gain elevation. During periods of low visibility utilizing your altimeter in conjunction with a known geographic feature (trail, ridge, canyon) will give your exact position. This is something you can’t do with map & compass alone.
