A search is underway for two climbers missing in Denali National Park in the area of the Moose’s Tooth, where rangers found tracks leading into a small avalanche.
Clouds drift above the south face of the Moose's Tooth in Denali National Park and Preserve on Monday, May 13, 2019.
The climbers checked in with a friend at 5 a.m. Friday using a satellite device and said they intended to climb the West Ridge route of the 10,300-foot peak located within the park’s Ruth Gorge, according to a release from park officials Monday. When the friend hadn’t heard from the climbers by Sunday, they notified park rangers.
