The disaster was a blizzard. There were a lot of tourists [inexperienced climbers] that were guided up by two mountain climbing companies at the peak that day. The blizzard came in fast and the climbers took too long getting down. 8 people died. “Disaster” was the term used by news at the time and the label stuck.
