Five hikers deposit 500 meters from mountain

vancouver - Five hikers last weekend killed when they attacked a mountain ridge 500 meters down in western Canada. A sixth hiker survived the disaster on Mount Harvey north of Vancouver because he had fallen behind, says the Canadian channel CTV Vancouver.

The five walkers had reached the top of the mountain when she stepped onto an overhanging snow and ice edge. The weight, however, the ice broke under their feet and threw five in depth. The mountaineers belonged to two local clubs of mountaineers. They all lived in the region around Vancouver in British Columbia province.

The sixth walker had given the five missing, and a search began. He himself had the others after arriving at the summit not seen, found only in traces. Sunday sniffer dogs found four bodies, the fifth body was discovered later.
