Did you not see footage of him riding a pillar in Hyalite I think it was and then going back up again on the mixed?

But I agree re low grade mountaineering routes being much more dangerous objectively...a lot of snow routes are avalanche prone and can also make for good skiing (hint hint, that should make you think of avos when you are outside ski area boundaries) and I'm assuming most people on them are new and not able to judge the snow conditions properly...just look at the Ramp on Aspiring. Probably the easiest route on the mountain yet it's claimed the most lives. Also look at Taranaki...
Deceptive appearances and all that, cruze.
