In reply to Martin1978:
"Agree. I also think it was a case of "determined to do something regardless" (which is understandable). "
I disagree, it's impossible to make this "assumption" by just what you have read on a forum. We have no idea of Jordan's knowledge of winter climbing.
I think it's a lot easier and clearer to say that Jordan didn't realise how dangerous the conditions were. I don't think he would have carried on regardless if he knew the possible danger he was in.
Instead of trying to diagnose other peoples mistakes, it would be a lot more help full if we offered advice and maybe even offered to take him out and show him how to make the correct decisions to keep him safe in the future.
Jordan, keep getting out mate, get some books and maybe even try and hook up with some one with some experience, people tend to be a lot more positive and helpful than they are on forums!
