Another pair of climbers found dead
An avalanche swept two men to their deaths in Denali National Park, just a day after two climbers were killed there in a 1,900-foot fall, park officials said.
The pair from Utah were pulled to the base of 7,650-foot Mt. Barille, where they were found in snow and ice chunks by rescue workers late Friday, park spokeswoman Kris Fister said.
The torrent of snow carried Andre Callari, 33, of Salt Lake City and Brian Postlethwait, 32, of Park City from 1,500 to 2,000 feet down the mountain, park rangers estimated.
Word of the two fatalities came shortly after news that another pair of climbers, both experts from Washington state, had fallen to their deaths Thursday night while descending 20,320-foot Mt. McKinley, the highest mountain in North America.
