Bodies Recovered

Kind of surprised no one has posted this:

 

"We felt we were trying to find our brothers"

so it sounds like they were hit by an avi while in camp, not while boarding?

That's what I got out of it.

Had to be the case. So very sad for the families but I hope that they can have some peace now. But admirable from the crew that went up: big respect to that awesome crew.

 

I generally rest easy in the woods, oblivious and impervious to rockfall, avalanches or Mountain Lions dragging my wide ass out into the woods knowing that you bastards would all immediately rush up to come get me just to fish my gear out of the tent and divy it up.

 

Take care all!

I am glad that they have been found. My condolences go out to their friends and family. Again.

 

Thanks for posting that , Kevin.

Thanks for posting this, Kevino! Reading that actual thread on TAY was pretty amazing. Very cool and awesome people for doing this for the three's families and friends.

I hope the cheery smiles on the group photo belie their sadness

As I wrote at the time, "We felt fortunate to have contributed to an ending which, while it was not happy, was absolutely right."
