Deaths on Mountains - Feedback J.E.S Lawrence

I hope your opening discussion on death in the mountains bears fruit... a big issue in my mind, and one that you and I engaged in personally ....we took on some biggies, and survived .... why? I think we were a) lucky, but b) were competent, thoughtful and strategic about what we did, and so we lived ... and the empty chairs dont (yet) have our names on them...
