Park Ranger Fawn Bauer told CBS News that rangers spotted a pile of gear at 9,500 feet that included tents, sleeping bags and jackets that belonged to the missing climbers. The rangers suspect the group might have fallen into the glacier below. Officials believe the climbers fell about 3,000 feet. ... 0 Flag Quote
