In reply to parafinn:
Tend to agree with most of your points of view and only use the photos on the reports to see if my guesses are founded.
However, I don't get your point on commercial interest...of course it has a commercial interest!
It's a way of getting advertizing in a way that is not too expensive (appart from time). He is not bothering himself for the greater good (although I'm sure he's a nice bloke...don't know him so can only guess). So, in that respect, I won't give any sticks.
It is what people do with the info that matters: if you're canny you follow experience, and if you're unexperienced and uncanny you end up queueing...that is called climbing darwinism.
You make the mistake at the start, evolve, improve your knowledge and get better experiences. And some will never know any better and could never get a feel for a real scottish adventure... their loss! That it could coincidentally be more dangerous just adds to the darwinist theory.
