Here's a great first-hand account.

Excellent report. Lots of errors and shaky judgment.

Interesting post, I have never made it to tucks, would love to make it there one spring!

You are being too nice. :)

It sounds like it was a serious sh#t show of people in way over their heads.

The folks taking the course sure got their monies worth!

Out west is worse.

How do you mean?

I don't think in any of the incidents out west this year were there three separate parties climbing directly on top of each other without any gear. This weeks incident in Jackson was sort of relatable but still not quite as many involved and in over their heads. It could have been worse though very easily.
