Rangers locate climber’s body on Alaska’s DenaliNational park rangers in Alaska on Friday located the body of the year’s first registered climber on North America’s tallest peak. Rimml hadn’t been considered overdue compared to his planned return date and food and fuel supply, according to Denali National Park and Preserve officials. Rimml reported his location as just below Denali Pass, at 18,200 feet (5,547 meters) elevation on the West Buttress, the most popular route for Denali climbers. Rimml’s body was spotted in the fall zone below Denali Pass during the aerial search, park officials said Friday evening in a statement. Recovery efforts will not be attempted until an national park ranger patrol is acclimated to the high altitude.
