I've climbed that route in late summer and it was the closest I've ever felt to death while climbing. We didn't have the right gear or skills and shouldn't have been there. I remember throwing myself on to the ridge at the top of the glacier mentally exhausted from so much unroped climbing. I didn't tie into a rope for over a year after that. My thoughts are with the families. When I read this it hit really close to home.
