This is fairly interesting in context of the bolts that were recently placed and then chopped from the Stand. I'm sure some would see it as vindicating the bolters behaviour - making the outdoors safer for people.
Personally though I'm much more inclined to believe that both the bolting and these recent accidents are an indication of people not really being prepared for what they can get themselves into in the mountains.
Is there any more information about this anywhere? Do we know if they were simply the experienced but unlucky, or were they in over their heads?
