Very sad. We were walking into the Labyrinth/Lake Ophion Friday afternoon and saw significant helicopter activity across to Geryon, figured something serious was up. Sad news was confirmed on the InReach, bit of a sombre mood at camp as we watched the mountain light up orange in the setting sun. RIP.
