Interesting topic cheating death, my first time was 17 well the first I can remember. Lucky I had an experianced mountainer with me, we were Ice climbing in the Lakes a place called Great End. We got there looked up, there were four parties already on the climb called South East gully about 1200 ft the climb. Brian my mate said I dont fancy that to many people on it so we did Central Gully. After finnishing it we came back down to do hopefully do the SE Gully, and were met by the Mountain Rescue and by the RAF rescue team. The Gully had Avalanched killing 8 people, the biggest Mountain disaster in British history, Fucking Hell.
