Apparently a Czech team was attempting to cross the top of the Messner Coulouir at above 18,000 feet when a small slab avalanche killed one of their members. <br /><br />Heidi and Rob Durnell, our two most experienced guides an expedition hunkered down at High Camp, assisted with the rescue of the remaining climbers.<br /><br />Rest assured that no one from this team was in any way involved with the accident. <br /><br />I have not heard from The May 13th team yet, but have heard second hand news, that they will be climbing into cell phone range tomorrow.<br /><br />As soon as I hear anything definitive, I will post another update.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7275055190346738881-3696469698524221108?l=13maydenali.blogspot.com'/></div>Todd Rutledgeinfo@mountaintrip.com0
