Shovel and prove is kinda useless without a beacon Reason I asked is generally there is essentially close to no avi risk in Tuckerman/GoS/etc. late season unless something late season adds instability or new snow. Now if you are looking at getting up there before the Spring during the regular season, then by all means, and you would want that beacon in that case. I haven't bothered since I don't visit terrain that has anything higher than next to nothing for avi danger. Though I am considering some trips that would require that gear and knowledge down the road....
