1st off, RIP, a tragic loss and heartfelt condolences...
Now to attack the media. "Her equipment failed"...
We are so quick to absolve any person, whether it be the victim, or the people climbing with the victim of any possible blame when such an accident occurs. It is true the family should be spared the heartache, but I really wish the media could be a bit more objective sometimes.
Granted, I wasn't there and don't know what happened, and TBH we will probably never know as detailed objective reports rarely reach the ANAM, especially from the Gunks area. But we all know that climbing equipment rarely fails, and it is 99.9% user error when something like this happens.
