SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 2 (UPI) -- Rescue workers launched a search for two Utah climbers who went missing as they attempted to scale mountainous terrain in Pakistan.
Kyle Dempster and Scott Adamson, widely known within the climbing community for their expertise in the sport, began climbing the northern face of "Ogre II," near the Choktoi Glacier on Aug. 21 in a five-day trip. They were last seen on Aug. 22 about halfway up the peak before a snow storm moved in. Sunday, family and friends became increasingly alarmed and initiated a search, with the help of local authorities.
