Has there been an update on the exact cause of the accident? The early report stated only that it was due to malfunction of belay device. I don't ask this out of morbid curiousity. This kind of information can be a wakeup call for all of us.

Gavin (who was on the rescue) is following the park's internal investigation,
and plans to post more details to the Mud'NCrud forum when they are available.

They will probably be copied or linked to the original thread here when this happens.
