Sketchy is relative.
If you have been sitting in an office in Seattle while a storm hammered the Cascades for a week, you might thing my trip report is sketchy.
If you had been out making obs all week during the storm (and saw how local conditions varied widely from the NWAC big picture), helped formulate a plan for the big line while looking for holes in the line of reasoning as to why the big line was a reasonable venture, then sketchy you might think not.
Time behind a computer screen will never replace time in the mountains . . .
Feel free to take the time to post or shoot a PM asking why the person posting the sketchy TR thought it was reasonable to ski that line on that day in those conditions . . .
Plenty of time people post admitting themselves to pushing it in sketchy conditions. I'm not referring to armchair QBing here. The article (and the discussion) regard the overall culture leading to the need to 'go big', push risk too far and the corresponding attitudes, social and group dynamics which reinforce this behavior. It wasn't a critique (nor were my comments) of an individual's decision making or a personal attack, which it seems you may have interpreted it as, though perhaps I'm misinterpreting your comment myself.
