There is always a risk of avalanche on BN because of the unpredictable warm fronts. They were caught out in Observatory Gully which is a large culvert and a very dodgy place to be, but it says they were both very experienced climbers, so why they were crossing a dangerous culvert like that is a bit of a mystery. It rather looks like they lost their bearings and paid for it with their lives.

For their families sake, I'm glad they have been found.
