It goes without saying that everyone is glad Paradox and Chip made it out, and more importantly - back - safely from Rainier.
Another hiker wasn't so lucky, and died between Paradise and Camp Muir. There's a short news article here:

When the weather's good, the trip between these two points seems most benign. After all, Muir's only about 10K', right? But, when it socks in, or worse - it storms, then people have died.
Edit - here's a more detailed account:
