The Westaway climbing manager said:

"In view of the speculation that [the relevant thread on the UKC forums] has generated I feel that it is right on this occassion to post a reply directly onto the forum. ... I would like to point out that although there have been several postings ... from individuals who either appear to represent the Westway, or be in a position of knowledge concerning the events of the 15th of January, this is in fact not the case. ... The investigation into the events of that afternoon is ongoing, and will not be completed for some time. ... I would simply say that nobody knows at this stage what happened, or how, or why, and it will be some time yet before we do know."
