I don’t know, but there’s that saying that comes to mind... about climbers...
“There are old climbers and there are bold climbers, but there are no old, bold climbers”...
And so, there have been many people lost in that past-time... of mountain climbing. I remember one time there was a warm summer in Oregon and the snow pack had melted back more than it had in many years... and they found the body of a climber that had been lost about 20 or 30 years prior — his body exposed for the first time as the snows melted away from it, that summer. I think it was somewhere around the Three Sisters area or Three Fingered Jack, but I can’t remember exactly.
I rremember reading about a similar situation in Europe when melting snow revealed the dead bodies of people lost decades before. Literally frozen in time, with what was state of the art equipment at the time.
Lot of truth in 'old sayings'. . .
