It sort of looks like they are on the north side of the peak. Maybe they traversed the Ridgetop from Point 6077, and Dropped down to the North to get around some obstacle.
I assumed they had summited Iron Cap and were heading down to find an elevation to traverse (or had started to traverse). But yes, seems they were on the other side of Iron Cap.
I hope we hear more about this sometime. As others have said, it could happen to any of us with an unfortunate slip or movement of rock. The video clearly shows them on the northwest side of Iron Cap. Perhaps they were traversing across to avoid going over the summit. That area looks like it has a decent ledge system and based on the topo and photo it's not super steep. A tragic and unfortunate accident.
