The fact that you are all out helping people in need and hopefully bringing people home to their own families makes it all worthwhile. No matter how experienced you are there is always an element of risk to enjoying the mountains, so being able to help others when things don’t go according to plan is a way of giving back

22 Years Ago, He Disappeared in an Avalanche. His Body Was Just Found. Melting glaciers on Peru’s highest mountain helped uncover the body of Bill Stampfl, who disappeared while climbing the mountain with two friends. Two decades after Bill Stampfl went missing during an avalanche while climbing Peru’s highest mountain, his daughter, Jennifer Stampfl, had more or less accepted that he was gone forever. Sometimes she still had dreams of him, alive in Peru, amnesiac and unaware that he had family in the United States. She knew he had hated the cold, so the idea of his being trapped in ice was unsettling. But she thought she had made her peace with the mountain keeping her father.
Russians Alexander Ruchkin and Vyacheslav Ivanov die in Huandoy Sur, the peruvian rescue team cooperate with this rescue.

Although little is known about the details of the accident, the Peruvian rescue team found the lifeless bodies of Alexander and Vyacheslav yesterday on Huandoy Sur (6,160 m), where the Russian climbers were opening a new route. The most likely hypothesis for the cause of this fatal accident is that the climbers were swept away by a rockfall when they began their descent after their last bivouac on 26-27 August. Alexander Ruchkin was a renowned international mountaineer, awarded the Piolet d'Or in 2005 for his climb of the north face of Jannu with Dmitry Pavlenko, and a Russian Piolet d'Or in 2009 for his opening of the Minya Konka massif (Sichuan, China) with Mikhail Mikhailov. The same team of Alexander Ruchkin and Vyacheslav Ivanov also received a Russian Golden Piolet in 2013 for the route Falling into the void, which they opened on the southwest face of Kusum Kanguru, 6,367 m (Nepal). Ivanov is also a three-time Russian Mountaineering Champion.
