Colorado Climber Missing on Alaska's Mount McKinley


Recommended Posts

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) -- The National Park Service says an aerial crew is looking for a Colorado climber missing on Alaska's Mount McKinley.

Denali National Park Service spokeswoman Maureen McLaughlin says there was no sighting of 41-year-old Gerald Myers of Centennial, Colo., during a search Thursday.

Myers began a solo climb to the summit of the mountain on Tuesday. He was last seen Wednesday as he climbed the ridge approaching McKinley's 20,320-foot summit.

A team traveling about two hours behind Myers did not see any signs of the man. He had skis with him, but little survival gear.

Mount McKinley is the tallest mountain in North America.
