It is always tough to second guess what happened on a trip where things didn't go as planned. On another trip reported on this forum, even when the hikers themselves write of their experience, there will be a number of people who will lecture and criticize and blame them.
I just wish the people in this situation would be able to report what happened, and how they planned their trip. I am wondering what weather forecasts they used.
I am sure many could learn from their experience -- if only we could get a full report.
