Halfmachine, it was a joke...
Mudguts, it's called sarcasm...something I deduce from your rather redundant retort you've not quite mastered. Yet, add the sufix "bation" and we've got the only thing on which you'll ever have a firm grip. Get it now?
Being that this is an avi/bc forum, thought it might be news to most that the seppo homeland saw large numbers of avi accidents over the weekend.

and yet, what was the aussie group doing out in such sh*t conditions. let's not burn the japanese alone. the seppo wannabes shouldn't have been out there either, right. takes all kinds of idiots from all countries and nationalities to make this world FUBAR. being a seppo, i know. best bet is to follow the simplest of all BC rules, if it's puking, don't go. too easy. if you spent a vast sum of money for a dream vacation, control the urge to become a another avy stat and live to play another day.

You talk about hiking up, but are you aware of the avalanche conditions? Do have the proper equipment in case something bad happens? If not, you should...

Fattwins and anyone else...apologies. Just putting great nomenclature to good use. Too bad the wit went overhead. Not so much a difference in national backgrounds/attitudes as it is personal aptitude. So it goes...the entire reason for using the term in the first place was to highlight the fact that most people were slagging off the Japanese but not the Aussies and their American guide. Fortunately for both parties, the former were not involved in an accident, thus they were able to carry out the rescue. However, it doesn't change the fact that going BC in such weather was not a good call to begin with. That's it...no more. Good Night and Good Luck.
