I have spoken to a couple of NZ guides who have swum up through avalanches and it worked for them, apparently it's one of the best things you can do. One guide told me he'd swum up through 5 - pulling the tigers tail an awful lot.
Great retelling of the story Capt Mulch, great perspective and honesty. All jokes aside, you're a nice person. Death in such a beautiful place on such a glorious day and in such a healthy, fit individual just seems so much sadder. |
