A trio of professional mountain climbers died in an avalanche at the Banff National Park in Canada last week. The three men, David Lama, Jess Roskelley, and Hansjörg Auer, were attempting a climb on Howse Peak, the tallest mountain in the Waputik Mountain chain in the Canadian Rockies when an avalanche caught them.
As CNN reports, the three, who were all members of the North Face Global Athlete Team, were reported missing after the avalanche and as of Wednesday of last week park officials could not locate them. After scouring the mountain by air and noticing “signs of multiple avalanches and debris containing climbing equipment” the group was presumed dead before their bodies were finally recovered on Sunday.
