Thankful for glow-bull warming and the early thaw that revealed the cool dudes. With out us polluting, they may never have been recovered.

I heard they were a couple of cool dudes. What are you doing?
Chillin like a mountain climber stuck in an avalanche.
Seriously, though. Glad the families have closure. In these instances, these guys, although I'm sure they didn't want to die, but they did so doing what they loved, guaranteed.

Tough way to go...yet if it happens in a split-second during the course of doing what you love, things could be worse.

“but exposed in an early melt brought about by hotter than average weather”
So, in other words, it was as hot then as it is now.

Glad the families have closure, but it wasn’t like there was much doubt about what happened and where they were.

That’s impossible. There are no glaciers anymore. AlGore told me so.

There are no glaciers anymore. AlGore told me so.Nor is there a social security "lockbox." Al Gore is a big fat liar.

At least they waited until the second paragraph before invoking Global Whorming.

I don’t know where you got that revolting human remains graphic image that mocks the two dead climbers and their loved ones.
However, I’ve asked to moderator to pull it.
That photo post Is Disgraceful.
Your crude poor taste harms both the climber’s and our FR family.

Like so many adventurers and thrill seekers - they died doing what they loved!

I wonder how much money was wasted looking for these fools.
To: BBell
I was in high school with Alex Lowe and his brother Andy.
Great guys.
Damn shame to lose one of them.

None.
There was never a rescue attempt.
Alex Lowe was a really fine man.
You would like him if you had met him.

So, was there something up there they were trying to find, or was this just a lark?

See the Movie “Meru”. I have watched it several times now. You will see the extreme kings of mountain climbing, including Anker. Incredible!!
