Very sad but has to be pointed out that the person collapsed rather than a fall.

Sad indeed. However he was the sixth person to die on the mountain this year – all in unrelated incidents.

The MRT gave it a good go getting to the casualty an hour after the call, thats good going with the weather against them as well. Thoughts with the family and friends.

Hopefully it'll be some small comfort to the family to know the person died doing something he enjoyed.
