So it's a bit like late winter or spring mountaineering conditions. There's been a lot of fine weather the last few days, which means all that ice/snow is melting, and there have been some big ice avalanches on Cook, by the sound of it. Enter climbers from abroad (mostly Aussie) who come expecting "summer climbing" and are not aware of the dangers of avalanche.
