An iPhone? Relying on Twitter? You've got to be kidding me. If you thrill seek ANY big mountain freeride-- especially terrain well beyond your abilities-- ALWAYS carry a beacon, probe, AvaLung, survival pack and adventure specific GPS unit. When in distress stay put-- do not venture-- call for help-- and most importantly-- DO NOT PANIC. Unfortunately for this party they obviously erred immensely in not taking a simple $25 backcountry survival course which ultimately could have saved a life. Heck-- they were lucky to even get a signal on an iPhone let alone "tweet" for help. Another tragedy indeed– one which most likely could have been avoided. An iPhone? Relying on Twitter?
