Nice to see that. A friend (a non climber) was asking me about the searches being called off. I commented that there was chance that late in summer there would be a chance for additional searches once the snow had melted back. Glad to hear that they are being conducted. Closure for the families and friends as well as perhaps some additional clues as to what happened.

Some new information.

I can only hope this will give the family's some peace and a chance to say goodbye. Hard to loose the good ones, a sad reminder that life is an eyeblink for us all.

A note for anyone that climbed the Reid Glacier routes this year. The subjects just became visible (ie meltout) last weekend on the mountain due to the high snow year. It would not have been possible for any climber to have found them in the normal course of climbing any earlier in the year.
