(Reuters) – The bodies of renowned U.S. mountaineers Alex Lowe and
David Bridges, who were killed in a 1999 avalanche in the Himalayas,
have been found by another pair of climbers, according to a charity
founded and run by Lowe’s widow.
Climbers David Goettler of Germany and Ueli Steck of
Switzerland were preparing for an attempt to reach the summit of
Shishapangma in Tibet, the world’s 14th-highest peak, when they
discovered two bodies encased in ice on a glacier, the Alex Lowe
Charitable Foundation said in a statement posted to its website on
Friday. The bodies had clothing and backpacks that matched the gear Lowe
and Bridges were wearing when they disappeared.
NBC News reported the bodies were found last week.
