Cindy
I think Curt and I passed her as we came down the ridge. From what I've read, she was about 1.5 - 2 hours behind us.
We remember seeing and saying hello to several people heading up. We usually mention trail conditions, wind, and temps in passing. Now I wish I had paid more attention to faces and clothing...but how do you know that a certain person will have a mishap? I had a conversation with Doug Sr. about this very subject on our hike back to Manker. I feel so bad that this happened on such a positive day. I still have hope that they will find her alive, but every passing hour adds to the reality that they might not.
