There was an article that was written up in the August 1978 Off Belay magazine if you want to know the details without filing an FOIA. Asking John Dill, ( who has been a great source of info), and Werner too is good, but that article was very instructive and clarifying. Someone went up there and rapped down the route and got a first hand idea about what happened. We talked to him in 1980. I believe it was Dolt, not Rohrer...
John, Jeff and John were engineer types, totally methodical, totally into safety and definitely careful. They knew better. It is a cautionary tale about being careful, not trusting one piece of equipment, whether fixed or placed. A heavy price to pay-
