Search and rescue officials are looking for two experienced climbers who are overdue to return from a climbing trip in Juneau.
George "Ryan" Johnson, a 34-year-old Juneau man, and Marc-Andre Leclerc of British Columbia were dropped off near the Mendenhall Towers on Juneau's Mendenhall Ice Field on Sunday, Alaska State Troopers said in a written statement.
The two men last communicated with family and friends Monday after climbing to the top of the towers. They had planned to return to Juneau via the West Mendenhall Glacier Trail by Wednesday evening.
Troopers say they found gear that the men were supposed to use to ski out. "We know they climbed to the top … it appears they didn't make it back down to the gear they didn't need for climbing," troopers spokeswoman Megan Peters wrote in an email.
Leclerc — a renowned climber profiled in Climbing Magazine in September — posted a photo of their climb to Instagram on Monday.
