Climbers rescued off Margarine Ridge, Mt Hay 14-Nov-2011 At 12:46:29 PM Sonic

This whole thing smacks of 'I climb 18 in the gym, a good long 13 should be great fun with my less experienced friend'.

Guess what? Adventure routes have that long word at the start for a reason! If you're in over your head its because you didn't do your homework. And reading a guidebook is NOT doing your homework. A guidebook is like study notes - it doesn't give you all the info, just the bare bones to build on. Don't blame the grades, the guidebook, etc - blame your unpreparedness. 000 is not the cure-all for unpreparednitis or a bail out option. Cry wolf enough and we all suffer........

At least they were ok in the end I guess
