The body of 41-year-old Alex Chiu has been recovered on Alaska's Mount McKinley after a 3,000-foot fall. Chiu fell Monday while climbing the West Buttress route with two companions who were unable to reach him. High winds and snow delayed rescue efforts until Wednesday. This marks another fatality on that section of the mountain, where several climbers have perished since 1980. Currently, 500 climbers are on Mount McKinley, which is in the midst of its climbing season.
