Two Climbers Missing in an Avalanche on the Moose's Tooth.
This is a sad accident for me. I didn't know the victims, but I did climb the Moose's Tooth West ridge in 1979. I have the feeling I know about where in the slanted couloir the avalanche started. Sadly, you would be carried a long ways and end up going off the massive cliff at the bottom of the snowfield and drop to the icefall. In this photo you can see two avalanches flowing over the cliff. Its a very sad accident. My thoughts an prayers go out to the families and friends of the victims.
