sickma Posted August 2, 2004 Posted August 2, 2004 Anyone know what went wrong for the two climbers that were found on Mt. Washington yesterday? Quote
tread_tramp Posted August 2, 2004 Posted August 2, 2004 The following is a quote from a post by IAIN on this subject in the Oregon forum: "It looked like they were on Chimney of Space or Central Pillar. Based on the arrangement of gear and other observations, it appeared to involve a factor 2 leader fall onto the belay quite high up on the route. The belay ripped and both fell a very large distance. This is simply speculation." Quote
mvs Posted August 2, 2004 Posted August 2, 2004 that is not the first time a entire belay ripped on that mountain... Quote
rbw1966 Posted August 2, 2004 Posted August 2, 2004 Sure isn't. I was out there the weekend they found those last two guys who ripped their belay. Got some pics of the rescue. Luckily these two survived. My condolences to the families and friends in their time of sorrow. Quote
