Thanks for the article Lono.
I did get a bit out of it.
I seldom bother to comment on threads like this much anymore.
I find threads about incidents usually devolve into people pontificating about their ideology instead of actually discussing the event and what might be done to prevent it being so bad the next time.

Mountain weather is not predictable and sometimes being just a few hundreds of feet up a mountain makes you as hard to reach as if you were on the moon when a storm comes in.

While I hope for the best for the two young folks who are still stuck out there I will take the time now to extend sympathy if they have become part of the mountain.
