I think it is instructive to discuss these deaths, other accidents and mistakes in our mountains. How else are we suppose learn not to make mistakes ourselves?
Michelle Yu walked off Mt. Baldy a few years ago in a white out, my friends and I were on Ontario Peak, Iron Mtn. and Baden-Powell on separate trips at the same time in the same conditions and are all alive and kicking. Why? What did she do wrong and what did we do right? If we know what went wrong for the former and what other did to keep themselves safe we can keep ourselves safer in the mountains.
