I don't think he was really boasting about it.. it seems more like a warning written in a more "comic" way (at least that's how I get it).. I think many should read this and think twice when heading to high mountains with bad forecast.. hope it was a lesson for you two and you won't lose joy for the hills anyway.. GUYS AND GIRLS, DON'T SHIT YOURSELVES AND NEXT TIME USE YOUR HEAD..
Nice mountaineering greeting
