I agree but the big storm came in a day or two after they started searching. A PLB might have saved valuable time during the first days. So sad...prayers for all the families, including those in the rescue team.

Agreed.

A PLB certainly would have been helpful. Do you know when the first call for help come in?

I believe the call that the one climber who was alone in a snowcave (most likely the body they found today) made to his wife, came in last weekend...not sure exactly when. She then notified authorities. I believe it was Sunday.
