Top climbers die in Canadian avalanche bbc.com

Three professional mountaineers have been found dead after an avalanche at Canada's Banff National Park. Austrian climbers David Lama, 28, and Hansjörg Auer, 35, and US citizen Jess Roskelley, 36, had been attempting to climb the east face of Howse Peake. The group were reported missing last Wednesday and later presumed dead, but recovery efforts were hampered by weather conditions. The men were part of a team sponsored by outdoor clothing line North Face. Canadian authorities said air rescuers had seen "signs of multiple avalanches" where they were found.
