Am I reading this right or did 2 people actually die in the story?

According to Parks Canada records from 1989, Holland's partner was temporarily stranded until another climbing party happened upon him and offered assistance. Then as the party was descending the mountain, one climber fell into a crevasse and injured his shoulder.

They left that climber in a tent and continued downward, eventually reaching a highway where they summoned help

Rescuers "went searching the following day only to discover the area was obliterated and search efforts were ceased," Lemke said, adding that Holland was presumed to have perished.
