RIP Ryan Johnson and Marc-Andre.  Condolences to Marc's family and to his friend here Jason Kruk.  Losing two of your best friends in six months (Hayden Kennedy and Marc-Andre) has to be incredibly tough.

Searchers found their ropes in a crevasse midway down the forth tower, and anchors. Currently unsafe to begin recovery efforts.

Even without any narration, this video Marc-Andre's dad posted to Facebook offers some insight into what might have happened.

That is so sad. My sympathies to all concerned, family, friends, searchers, and the communities.

Best, Helen
