no doubt about it, winter mountaineering is a risky sport . I had felt the pull of it as a young man and have some regret over not being able to challenge the big peaks. If a park area establishes a rescue team then people will expect to be rescued. I for one accepted the risk I took when I went into the mountains or even just the deep woods in winter.
Many of us here on this page are gear heads that enjoy high performance machines. Even when we go to the track we are taking a risk others deem unacceptable. Winter mountaineering may not appeal to you, but to those of us who are subject to its allure are no different than those who are enamored of high speed performance machines.
