Wow this is a wicked mountain. The most obvious descent line is really ugly. Vastly crevassed and steep. Am really working on these sat images ( took a bit to get oriented and identify some good landmarks for reference) but the best resolution still seems a bit weak to pick out what is needed. :(

It is a pretty gnarly place. I too wish the resolution were better, but this is the best & only current image we've got. The ones from today were too cloudy.
Does this look like tracks on the descent ridge?

Possibly some snowfall between photos. Also possible that that softening of the 26th photo is due to lighting difficult to say, perhaps angle and efforts of digital rendering
possible old debris pile in bottom slightly left of center seems to give some scale. Some fairly good sized crevasses unfortunatley.
Dosn't appear to be high enough resolution to pick out footprints.
Would be an unpleasant section to descend

More to the photo I just posted. Asa, who is only on a cellphone right now, thought they climbed to the top and tried to descend on the other side of the mountain, not where his line is drawn. (He had been with Gil earlier in the month, but bad weather prevented them from going up, and he had to leave for a prior commitment in the States -- and Ben then came and climbed with Gil.)

There is something about the object in the highlighted box that looks like it shouldn't be there. For instance, what is the white part on the right side when nothing else is white. Also, it is a slightly different color than everything else in the frame. Just seems out of place.
for reference, i have attached a more zoomed out image slice. This is just to the right of the ridge. Find the curved part on the left, and look to the right. The zoomed in image is just a closer version of the red square in the zoomed out image.

Looks like people to me, spaced as they might be walking up a snow slope. Three of them.

Nice freaking work y'all! That definitely looks like the three rescuers and we are going to use that image as an example of what people might look like in the imagery.

aveman nice work, those must be the 3 guides sometime yesterday
they're pretty low down, probably below basecamp. This is a good example of what a person would look like against the snow in this imagery.
Here are the coordinates of where those 2 "people" that G. Flleischman found... they're WAY west of the descent ridge, you couldn't end up there unless you traversed the main ridge really far then came down.. does that make sense to do that?

Two dots found by aveman.
This is also pretty far down southwest of the face, not sure how many rescuers were on the way up or down yesterday.

having some issues with coordinates. Mine seem different from the others.
Your photo of the two shadows/peple is in between the two lakes. The red something is south of that.

I have to say, it is very cool what you guys are doing! Hopefully it will lead to clues and help finding these guys.
I am heading to Peru tonight and will be in Huaraz on Sunday. Drop me a note if you need any help while I am there
