Japanese Climbers Mount McKinley
In this May 3, 2007 photo, Japanese climbers Masako Suda, left, Yoshiaki Kato, second from left, and Michiko Suzuki, right, are pictured in Kamikochi, Nagano prefecture, Japan. The three are among four climbers who went missing after an avalanche swept them off a section of Mount McKinley, in Alaska. Spokeswoman Kris Fister said Sunday, June 17, 2012, that the search for the climbers was permanently suspended after a mountaineering ranger found their climbing rope in debris at the bottom of a crevasse.
