I have a copy of the men's calendar at home, and I don't believe any junk is showing in any shot.
(if there's interest, I'll bring it to a pub club or to ropeup if i can find the time to go)
I heard that where Amazon has free warehouse space, they let their purchased products age a few days before shipping, so there's an apparent value-added to paying extra for speedier processing.
The 2006 and 2007 calendars were a bit disappointing because they were mostly repeating 2002-2005, but the 2008 calendar has all new material, including:
some shots w/ Cerro Torre in the background
a great shot with offwidth thutching

Their bodies were found on/in/near the bottom of the Colchuck Glacier (which is bulletproof ice right now), so they may not have been on Dragontail proper at the time of the accident/accidents.
There's an engineering-oriented guy from Chelan Mountain Rescue who normally writes up detailed reports/analyses, and I expect in due time, he'll provide something for the public.

(I prefer their setup for easily inserting lots of thumbnails that are clickable for enlarging)
from reading the forum on cascade.org, looks like:
-neither victim was wearing a helmet
-they were attempting to pass on the right in an intersection
-it's unknown whether the dumptruck had used its turn signal prior to turning
-there was construction in the area blocking the sidewalk and rightmost lane
We camped out. We were geared up to get inserted so that we could either raise the subjects to an extraction point or lower them all the way down, but the new fancy hoist was able to take care of everything without us.
We got really lucky with the weather. It was socked in at dawn, but it cleared enough within the next two hours to allow Guardian 1 to fly. It then clouded back in some an hour later, and the weather was far worse in the city than by Big Four.
The Everett Herald was a little more colorful with their descriptions of the subjects:
