This is about the two Yuris. Yuri D was found with pine needles in the scalp, not cedar! Yuri K and Yuri D could have sustained those head hand and leg injuries not from climbing a tree but from digging a snow cave and making a mat. Perhaps those two set off to find a place and dig it out. Maybe they took too long and their comrades came looking for them. Perhaps a warming fire was just not enough to keep them alive.
It is hard to believe that a fall from a tree into snow from a height of a dozen feet or more is going to kill even one physically fit Soviet athelete. That seems to be the idea about the Yuris. Suppose the tree was climbed to make observations on the speck of a tent a mile distant, what a waste of time! Alternately, if the tree was climbed to alllow someone to stomp on branches while there was already sufficient fuel on the ground, what a waste of time!
If we set aside the idea that just because the Yuris were laid near the cedar, is there a connection? Putting the two Yuris at the den really flips the narrative. So does putting the Yuris anywhere else besides the cedar.
