Posted: Sun May 18, 2014 5:04 pmDon't know! May be they thought they could descend faster not roped together. I'm sure more facts will be coming out soon. Friend of mine climbed the West Rib solo, then hooked up with another solo climber and came down the regular way, roped up of course.

I witnessed East European climbers cross the Authbahn unroped, using only trekking poles, no ice axes. Yikes! When we crossed it I was very happy to clip the fixed pickets.
