James Christophe Caraley, 22 and a Columbia University student, was last seen July 25, 1979, in the Columbia Icefields area of Jasper National Park, Alberta. He had been climbing alone, intending to summit Mount Athabasca and Mount Andromeda within two days. He left some equipment behind and was carrying keys with a security tag numbered 8867.

When he failed to return as planned he was reported missing and authorities mounted an extensive search of the icefields. Searchers found no trace and the official search was eventually called off. Though investigators concluded he had likely perished in the mountains, his body has never been recovered and his whereabouts remain unresolved.

What details about James’s last movements or the equipment he left behind might help anyone who knew him or was in the park that week come forward with information?
