In reply to UKH News:

Journalists from three national and one local newspaper have emailed the contacts list on the Ipswich Mountaineering Club website clearly trying to elicit the names of those involved before the names are released by the police. Not very edifying practice I fear, but probably to be expected.

I don't myself know who was involved, but obviously a very tragic incident - condolences to all involved.

If anyone reading this thread does know the people involved I would them urge not to publish the names unless sure that the next of kin have been notified and are happy for the names to be released
