Haha JohnKelly, I saw your first photo and thought...wow, that looks like a serious natural funnel hope that the rocks are frozen in solid and before the thought had finished scrolled into your next shots.....
Great photo sequence.
Looks like the definition of what "ButtHurt" is. You can't really tell how hard the snow is. It doesn't look like the gopro fella did any end over end cartwheels. Probably means it wasn't as steep as the camera lets on, as bad as that was, if he'd come off higher up it looks like it would have been much much worse. Dayam.
Buddy at work was showing me one of 2 guys who'd climbed to the top of a steep Mountain to ski off it, one dude appears to fall off before he can get his skiis set and the ensuring tumble misses the couilar it looks like they'd been thinking of, flies down a rocky headwall and really looks bad. But the guy is setting up at the end of it.

Don't let the wankers give you a bad impression of ice climbers. It's not like we are all gumbys falling off easy climbs...
Here are some first class wankers ignoring common sense and belaying in the bomb zone of a totally baked out climb. this climb was in full sun most of the day. a huge part of the climb fell down while this guy was leading and 20 min later everyone is still standing under the chopping block and the leader is still climbing the unsafe route....

Gee you must be a real hardman, Tradman. Tell us more about your stoic nature while slagging off others. I think you've read too many of Tami's alpine cartoons and treid to model yourself on them.

the britt thing is a joke. Read Joe Simpsons books. he fell off of almost everything he climbed.. read Hammish McGuiness book Call Out. There seems to be an ungodly number of rescues over in scotland. Many of them Britts. Both the victims and the SAR teams seem to be blind drunk in many of them...

And Brit food sucks schweaty ballz.
Damn, it's been a long time since we bashed those fookin' Royals. F*#k you! This is our country now! And take back your goddamned tea.
What has Joe Simpson fallen off of lately? I only have two of his books.
Uh, Blakey, This other Brit you posted a link about actually seems to be competent. That doesn't really support your case there about Brits also sucking. Just pointing that out.

That's irony old chap.....
It would be rude of me to suggest that as a nation 'you don't do irony' so for now it's just you ;-)
BTW, Doug Scott fell on a mountain, broke his legs and had to crawl down - he's crap as well.....

this tradman punk
is quite the pompous asse.
its entertaining though to
watch him stroke his swollen ego
in front of god and everyone,
pitching us always sweet, always (copyrighted)
glossies of his ever-valiant,
and supremely first-rate mountain escapades.
you, tradman own the mountain home,
sittin on your self-annoited thrown.
we wankers are just bumblin around
trying to keep pace with you 'trend setters,'
throwing our heads right in the path of ice-fall.
not tradman, no.
he can go all zen whenever and
just disappear hisself
with cool and calm control.
