LHASA, Tibet, May 2 (UPI) -- The bodies of Alex Lowe and David Bridges, two American mountain climbers, have been found 16 years after they were killed in an avalanche during a climb on Tibet's Shishapangma mountain.
Lowe, 40, a world-renowned mountaineer regarded by some as the best at the time, and Bridges, 29, a cameraman, were climbing the roughly 26,300-foot Shishapangma peak on Oct. 5, 1999, when they were buried by a huge avalanche.
