The visitors later apologized and offered compensation, acknowledging their lack of experience and proper equipment for the remote location. The Mountain Bothies Association emphasized the importance of being prepared for outdoor conditions. They noted that the damage was not as severe as other incidents but highlighted the need for better planning by visitors.
