Rangers in Alaska Recover the Body of a Man Who Died From a Fall on North America's Tallest Peak
- Mount McKinley rangers recovered the body of 41-year-old climber Alex Chiu on Wednesday, June 4, after a 3,000-foot fall at Squirrel Point.
- Chiu fell unroped on Monday, June 2, during a climb on the West Buttress route, and rescue efforts were delayed by high winds and snow until June 4.
- Two expedition members witnessed Chiu's fall near Peters Glacier, an exposed, rocky 3,000-foot face that is known for dangerous terrain and volatile weather.
- That morning, two rangers conducted a helicopter search from Talkeetna and recovered Chiu's body, which was then sent to the state's medical examiner for examination.
- The incident underscores risks on Denali's popular mid-climbing season route, prompting officials to urge climbers to prioritize safety and use ropes on exposed sections.
