Bee, I'm not trying to berate the poor lady, but you'd almost have to want to go up the East Face to head over there. If you want to do the MR, it's pretty obvious to continue heading up the chute. There really isn't even much of a notch where you head towards the EF. There are a few cairns up there leading towards the EF. My guess is she followed those without realizing they were meant for the technical climb. If it wasn't for the article stating otherwise, my other guess would have been she tried to free solo the route and realized she was in over her head.
