The body of a second, missing Boulder climber has been found on Mount Edgar (6,818 meters/22,368 feet) on the Minya Konka massif, Western Sichuan Province, China.  Jonathan “Jonny” Copp, Micah Dash, and Wade Johnson embarked from base camp on May 20 and were reported overdue when they missed their June 3rd flight from Chengdu, China.

Copp’s body was found by Chinese searchers in avalanche debris at 4,000 meters on the mountain and positively identified yesterday. A second body was reported found today and is believed to be Johnson, a photographer with Sender Films, who was accompanying Dash and Copp.

In 2008, Copp and Dash received the Mugs Stump Award grant for this climb from the American Alpine Club but had to delay travel until now, due to political unrest in the region.

We extend our condolences to the families and friends of all three climbers.
