Reactions to missing mountaineers: "We still do not believe it"

Since Wednesday, there is no sign of life of David Lama, Hansjörg Auer and Jess Roskelley, which were recorded in the Canadian Rocky Mountains apparently from an avalanche.

The three world-class climbers wanted to climb the 3295 -meter-high Howse Peak on a difficult route on the east side, according to authorities.

The Canadian park supervision now assumes that the three extremely experienced mountaineers are no longer alive. Even Roskelley's father has no hope. The mountaineering and climbing scene is stunned by the news from the Banff National Park.

"We still do not believe it," write the brothers Iker and Eneko Pou. With the Austrian Auer they were only in the Himalayas last fall.

Even the adventurer Ash routes is stunned. "It's hard to believe that the guys who made such a tumultuous life can not continue, and many of us will miss the inspiration of their tours, photos and videos."

Beautiful hard lives will no longer be able to do that. Many of us want to miss our own lives being enriched by their inspiring climbs, photography and video. https://t.co/0q0yRHb72C

The "American Alpine Club" is reminiscent of llamas, Auers and Roskelley ideals.
