Anyone else notice the older footage showing a small group of rescuers to the right of the ridge below the Pearly Gates? Are they testing the snow over there before heading up?

I wonder why the three other guys are digging at the apex of the summit.

The climber on the NE side appears to have stopped. Looks like he's digging.

Amazing footage on CNN/Fox. You can see a rescuer walking down a ridge at the top of the Cooper Spur route.
