The mountaineers disappeared last week on a climbing expedition at the east face of Howse Peak.
The mountaineers, Jess Roskelley, 36, of the United States, and Austrians Hansjorg Auer, 35, and David Lama, 28, disappeared last week on a climbing expedition at the east face of Howse Peak, a particularly tough summit in Alberta's Banff National Park."While details are limited, the Roskelley family confirmed that the three climbers were successful at summiting Howse Peak," Parks Canada said in a statement read during a telephone press conference.
He said he did not know at what height the avalanche hit the men, saying their remains had been found at the bottom of the mountain's east face.They had begun their assault on Howse Peak the morning of April 16. The accident occurred the same day. The specialists saw signs of multiple avalanches"and debris containing climbing equipment," leading to a conclusion that the men had been killed, Parks Canada said.
