Ice Climber Killed in Avalanche Near Crystal
Bummer to hear this. Not 100% sure, but they may be Crystal employees. Be careful folks.

Almost sounds more like she was killed by icefall from the route itself.

Probably more of an ice avalanche. It sounds like it was enough of a flow though to sweep his backpack away.
