More Bad News from Colorado

Couple is found dead on Crestone Needle, possibly climbing the Ellingwood Arete.

Looks like the weather was a factor.

After a post last night from the couple’s son, it appears the couple was retreating down a gully, from an incoming storm, when a rockslide likely struck them. Most likely, a storm later in the week created a rock/mud slide in the same gully that carried their bodies further down the face and buried them in the debris.

A beautiful area, sad story.
