[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, tragedy, exclamation point!

We make better decisions and are better people. Smug smile.

FAFO, the tension builds…

They’re rich, white, privileged women and bad things happened to them…yes, yes, right there, oh yeahhhhh![/quote]

It's not being smug to realize it actually doesn't take much of a brain to review weather reports before traveling and think perhaps best to not go back country skiing when the probability of major snowfall and avalanches have been predicted for a week in an area known for heavy, dangerous snowfalls.  Even more important to use sound judgment when you have young children. [/quote]

Unf the whole situation is congruent with that high death rate Everest year in 1998 or wherever.

The cyclone storm was on radar for coming and a bunch of people decided to still go for it during a short window. Some refused to turn back at the magic 2pm afternoon time to make it down safely in a normal day and got caught so high up no help could come until next day light.

One group aborted and didn’t try to summit. They all lived.

Half of another group went quickly, made it down.

Another group coddled some slow people and half got caught near the summit, below the summit, and that texas guy somehow made it to a small high up base camp.

I believe the Texas guy was a surgeon who lost both his hands due to frost bite. A costly error.[/quote]
