Very poignant posting this today, great report well done.

One of the better and easiest accessible crash sites. Nice one.

I'd like to see this sometime, Cheers for posting.

I have wanted to hike to here for a while now , I have a dodgey leg though I will get up there on day though , there are quite a few crash sites up there I found a web site a while ago that had an add on for google earth so it showed where all the sites were located

It would be nice to see some in the snow.

That would be interesting can you remember what it was?
