Three mountaineers have been missing for six days after climbing a remote peak in Garibaldi Provincial Park.
The trio of experienced mountaineers vanished on May 31 after summitting Atwell Peak in Garibaldi Provincial Park. The group did not return back down on Friday and were reported missing by a family member to RCMP.
Chute is hopeful though that there will be clear skies and the aircraft will be able to reach higher elevations of Atwell Peak. Less than a handful of people reach the peak every year and mountaineers often climb when there is snow for better grip and footing.
