Guy Edwards, 30, was last seen April 13, 2003, during an attempt on the north face of Devil’s Thumb, a remote 6,000-foot peak about 30 miles northeast of Petersburg, Alaska. He and 24-year-old John Millar left the Baird Glacier base with gear and food for a four to five-day climb; their third teammate, Kai Hirvonen, did not join the ascent and last saw their headlamps in the night as they set off.

Bad weather followed and concern grew when Edwards and Millar failed to return. Hirvonen skied to Thomas Bay and used a hand-held radio to call for help. A search involving helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft was hampered by low clouds; pilots reported recent avalanches in the area. Despite intermittent searches over several days, no trace of either climber was found and the official search was eventually called off. Both men are presumed dead due to the hazardous terrain, avalanches and severe conditions on the mountain.

Does anyone have information about that 2003 expedition or recall seeing activity around Devil’s Thumb in mid-April of that year?
