Overview

• Andreas Dahlmeier said the search has ended and confirmed his daughter will remain on the mountain because recovery is impossible.
• Professional climbers Thomas Huber and Tad McCrea surveyed the face with a 30x spotting scope and a drone and then examined glacier crevasses without finding any trace.
• Huber assesses that the body fell into a crevasse at the foot of the wall and is now likely buried by daily rockfall and ice.
• Immediate efforts after the 28 July accident were halted by extreme hazard and helicopter performance limits above roughly 5,000 meters, and rescuers later observed no signs of life from the air.
• A small memorial plaque was placed near the site, and the family, honoring Laura’s prior wish not to risk others for a recovery, asks for privacy.
