Hello,

A friend of mine went missing today sometime between 2 pm and 7pm in the area around the Nose. If you climbed over that way today please let me know so that I can help the rescue squad put together a timeline.

Thanks,

Ben Williams

We got there around 2 and there was a large group from camp high rocks. When we left around 4 there was one group of two guys on the second pitch of sundial. Didn't see anybody else around and there was only one car left in the parking lot when we pulled out.

I was one of the two on pitch two of Sundial. We got to the base and started racking up at around 1200Hrs. We talked to the two agents searching the base of the cliff, but neither of us saw or heard anything during that time period. We were on p2 when the guided group showed up (1330-1400ish). We didn't see or hear anything.

Any updates?

Best wishes. I hope your friend is OK.

The Transylvania Times reported a body recovered last week. So I think the search is over. Condolences.

"FBI Public Affairs Specialist Shelley Lynch confirmed on Thursday that FBI agents were looking to speak to the man..."

Condolences to his friends and family. Sounds like there is more to the story.
