Yeah you guys are right- could just have been bad luck, and these guys may well have been doing everything right. Don't mean to stir up the usual shit-storm or point any fingers- just hate to see folks get hurt.

There are long ring-bolted routes all over the Alps. Maybe given the history some people are more aware and respectful of the conditions up there. But given the ubiquitous mountain rescue services I'm sure (have seen) people get blasé about 'having a go.' I actually didn't realise our own chopper rescues were so well-trained, and would never be holding my breath for a pickup (or even phone reception). Massive credit to them and thoughts to the injured climber.
