The body of missing climber Grant Marcuccio was found in Glacier National Park, Montana, one-third of a mile east of McPartland Peak. Marcuccio, 32, of Whitefish, Montana, was reported missing on Aug. 18 after he failed to meet his hiking group at a rendezvous spot. The cause of death is still under investigation, but the location of the body and traumatic injuries suggest a fall. Marcuccio had left his group to summit McPartland Peak alone, which is over 8,000 feet high. Searches on the ground and by air were conducted before his body was spotted by Two Bear Air on Sunday and recovered. The park service expressed their condolences to Marcuccio’s family and asked for privacy.
