The families of two well-known Utah climbers who went missing on an icy mountain peak in Pakistan called off the search for them Saturday. According to Thesenga, the Pakistani military conducted exhaustive sweeps over the men's likely descent route with two helicopters. Their cook, at base camp, spotted their head lamps about halfway up the peak on the second day. Dempster, 33, and Adamson, 34, both of Utah, are two of the most accomplished alpinists of their generation. Last year, Dempster and Adamson nearly died trying the same climb.
