A rescue group found the body of a missing 29-year-old climber in the area of Officers Gulch along Interstate 70 in Summit County over the weekend.
The Summit County Rescue Group initially learned about the missing person when a friend of his called police to report him missing on the evening of Sept. 2. The friend knew the climber was going to explore Officers Gulch that morning, but did not provide an exact location. Around 5 p.m. that afternoon, the climber called his friend to say he was headed down from his route shortly and would return around 6:30 p.m., SCRG said.
Eight people with SCRG responded around 11:30 p.m. to search for the missing climber. They looked along the bike path between Officers Gulch and Frisco and along a climbers' trail known as Halfway Rock, SCRG said. Around 2 a.m., the rescue group decided to pause their efforts and begin again at first light.
The climber's family provided a last known location from a shared phone location app, along with a video from Sept. 2. SCRG said this was an enormous help identifying where the man had been. Following an investigation by the sheriff's office special operations unit, a group of rescuers set up a system to retrieve his body. This operation was completed around noon.Both the rescue group and sheriff's office noted that the climber and his family did several things that helped rescuers find him quickly.
