I was there climbing this weekend and there were definitely a decent number of people who had less than ideal amounts of experience. I left Sunday morning, but from what I saw on Saturday of two different parties in the Amphitheater area, I wouldn't be shocked if it were one of them.
One party was moving slow trying to get five people up The Daddy on one rope from what I saw. (they didn't make it out until well after dark) Another party of two was going very slowly up The Daddy, then bailed, and started on The Prow at an equally slow rate. That's the catch to these remote climbs, you need to be fully prepared and extra cautious. Evac at 4 am must suck total balls.
Hopefully this fellow will heal up okay.
