My guess is they went up Liberty, took the walk over to Flume and took longer than expected on the inevitable monorail down in the col and decided to head down Flume slide.

Same old story, glad they got out safely given they were minors. They might want to watch calling the older gentleman a "leader" evidence to the contrary. They should install some of those yellow signs they put at treeline in the Presidentials at the base of the Franconia Notch trails. Not sure how many it would help, but they put a warning sign at the beginning of the Huntington Ravine trail, and it has seems to have helped, haven't heard of many rescues from that trail in a while.

It does seem that the usual multiple rescues for that trail have declined. I wonder if it is coincidence or it's actually working. The Great Gulf seems to be turning into a "thing" now. Maybe that is the new target on social media and Huntington isn't cool anymore.....
