Death at Howse Peak - 11/03/19 09:30 PM
Long, detailed and sobering news story of a mountain climb in Albert Canada that claimed of the lives of 2 climbers.
For me, reading through the story, one common theme was about risk and how much climbers push the risk envelope and also how much rescuers also risk their lives.
Also apparent is the effect this tragedy has had on family and other loved ones lives.
A trio of world-class alpinists died in an avalanche during a descent from one of Canada’s most dangerous mountaintops in April. Marty Klinkenberg travelled to Banff National Park and Spokane, Wash., to piece together the untold story of their fateful climb.
