I read that today. Very sad. And while I don't want to sound disrespectful- especially given than one of them died- I always shake my head when "experienced hikers" are so foolish as to not take the most meager precautions like telling someone where you are and when you're expecting to be back. I mean c'mon! That's basic common sense. Even if not for yourself at least make recovery easier for SAR, and give your family some closure if you don't care about your own life!
