Definitely true, but be aware that this is often agreed upon but quite often not executed. Be wary of someone coaxing you to do anything at all that's against your instinct or judgement. Props to Summit for the discipline demonstrated...it's frustrating but a) newb tele dude had a better time for it b) and he learned first hand how important and vital discipline is because he benefited from it.
Plat--Be careful, holmes. Sounds like a recipe for disaster, though it probably won't play out that way. It's your ass so be as staunch as you have to be, you know? The bottom line is the truth: If someone doesn't know the levity of traveling in avy terrain and doesn't respect it enough to be educated, they don't belong there and you definitely don't belong with them.
