His last known call to his friend was on April 30, when he 'reported being tired, but he was not in distress.'
National park rangers in Alaska on Friday located the body of the year's first registered climber on North America's tallest peak.
The average Denali expedition is 17 to 21 days for a round trip, with climbers making the summit on day 12 or 13, according to the National Park Service.Rimml began his climb April 27 from the Kahiltna Glacier base camp at 7,200 feet, officials said. They saw his tent at 14,000 feet but didn't observe any recent activity, the statement said. High winds and poor weather prevented the helicopter from landing at the campsite, but the helicopter returned Thursday when weather was better. Rangers confirmed Rimml hadn't returned to the tent.
Rimml likely fell on the steep traverse between Denali Pass at 18,200 feet and the 17,200-foot plateau, a notoriously treacherous stretch of the West Buttress route, officials said. Thirteen climbers, including Rimml, have died in falls along that traverse, the majority occurring on the descent, the statement said.
