The trio was reportedly hit by a huge avalanche
on Mount Andromeda on Wednesday 17 April and hasn't been heard from since. A first helicopter reconnaissance proved unsccessful.

>In a news release, Parks Canada said the three climbers were presumed dead after officials saw “signs of multiple avalanches and debris containing climbing equipment.”

This is mostly unrelated but;

>someone goes missing in conditions where you'd probably die in about 4 hours
>search party goes out for a week

Why do they string victim's families along like this? If something crashed into the sea, or someone "disappeared" in an avalanche and could not respond to shouting or searching by the involved parties, what the fuck is the point? Just start funeral preparations right away, because they are fucking dead. Perfect example of this is the 4 fucking weeks they searched for that dead footballer and pilot in the channel. What did they fucking expect? Him just to be holed up on a raft floating in the channel in the middle of fucking January

As you may know the term "alpinist" comes from the mountain range "the alps". There are no porters/sherpas in the alps.

To be honest I really saw no way this guy would die other than doing some retardedly hard route. This route was put up by the guy who finally got to the top of the Andromeda Strain after every other climber in Canada had failed at it and he did this more recent one with several other climbers who had spent their whole lives climbing the Canadian Rockies. It's understandable why even a world class climber could die on it.
>>1497318
/out/ can't refute this, climbing culture is retarded. Disagree? Look at how ruined Mount Everest is from tards trying to prove they have the biggest wiener by paying $60,000 for some poor villager to carry them up it. It's not limited to Everest either, tons of climbers are out there looking to prove themselves instead of just enjoying the experience.
>>1497321
If you want I can put together a list of mountains where bolts were fixed in place so an "alpinist" could claim they set a new record climbing it. Climbing has become a dick measuring contest and it arguably always has been.
>>1497391
And here we fucking go with someone who's whole identity is an obscure sport thinking they can dismiss any criticism by shooting off trivia. No one's trying to attack your terminology, the main critique of climbing/mountaineering culture is that it's all about proving who's the most "pure" at it while disregarding anything else.

Basically. If you're unlucky and pushing yourself in an inherently dangerous environment you will get fucked. So many climbers have been killed by falling shit in some form or another it's absolutely insane.

You can get caught by an avalanche also on easy routes.

Steeper slopes don't even accumulate enough snow to avalanche. Most avalanches occur on moderate 30-45 degree slopes.
