You are an idiot. Have you ever been there? Have you been there with that amount of snow? That slope was not steep enough to warrant roping up especially on their side. Those type of conditions are present every year when the snow begins to melt, whether it is early or late. Your comments are not tidbits of wisdom - they are comments from someone without full knowledge of the area or the full story trying to give advice.

Missbertie, Peter, Larry, and John, I am so sorry for your loss.
