It always amazes me when people head up into the mountains to their deaths. Weather is a relatively simple thing to predict nowadays, and yet people head upwards as if they had no cares. Every year 10-20 people in our region do this. I kind of expect it.

I know these folks were experienced, and they had all the proper gear. Maybe their age and avarice for thrills and adventure blinded them. Not sure.

Sad that they were lost so young. They died doing what they loved, but to me it was a waste. No offense meant, just an observation.
