Thankfully, I haven't had any really intense situations in the mountains yet. Glad everyone seemed to be ok from your group.
On a somewhat related note, Phanuthier, have you read Steve House's book
Beyond the Mountain? It won the Mountain Literature Award in Banff last year. This is, hands down, the best mountaineering and general climbing book that I have ever read. He relates his experiences in such a human, fragile and honest way, which I find lacking in many other climbing works. Although our climbing experiences have been very different, I found myself relating with Steve over and over on many things beyond just climbing.
Hell, I recommend this book to anyone. Even people that have never even set foot on a mountain.
