概要
Dry Crampon, Wet Parking Lot: How a Silent Fault Nearly Killed Them

A dry crampon on a rainy morning outside unit forty-seven hinted at a failure no one expected: a size nine steel-framed crampon found untouched on wet pavement while the padlock remained in place. One silent equipment fault, four days of above-freezing afternoons at 12,000 feet, and a snow bridge that had been called "reliable" set the stage - how did a sequence of small, defensible choices nearly become a catastrophe?

In this episode, we tell the events around the Crestwall Peak expedition and follow the team from Base Camp to the Ashmer Shelf, tracing what each recorded decision and condition contributed to the outcome. Who noticed the dry crampon, what did the expedition logs record, and why did the "reliable" snow bridge fail when it mattered most?
