I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Description

Why We Like The Backcountry Access BC Link 2.0

The Backcountry Access BC Link 2.0 has 2 watts of power, increasing its usable range to boost safety as our group chases steeper and longer lines. To make sure this two-way radio is fully charged, we simply check the new battery percentage display before kitting up for the day. The glove-friendly Smart Mic lets us control on-off, volume, channel selection, and push-to-talk, so we can keep in contact with our friends without having to dig out the base unit from inside our pack. Whether our fellow shredders are 6 miles or 40 miles away, as long as they're within line of sight, our observations and change of plans will reach them.
