Best of luck to them. Hoping the wx clears up so they can spot these guys.

Anyone have any updates?

Re: K2 Beaver down on Denali

No updates other than the same basic news from all the news outlets. Heard what I thought was a C-130 flying low in the early afternoon and then definitely a helicopter at the same time. About 4pm heard and then briefly saw a Pave Hawk heading away from the mountain on the deck. Pouring down rain with more of the same for the next few days which means snow at their elevation. My heart goes out to them that's for sure.

Sad news. My heart goes out to their families and the gang at K2.
