On July 9, shortly before 6 p.m., crews received reports that Brian Astle, 42, fell while descending a steep, off-trail climbing route on Mount Gould in Montana.
Two Bear Air was able to recover Astle’s body on Thursday morning. Crews postponed recovering the body due to safety concerns. He was found around 10 a.m. the morning after the fall.
“The park extends their deepest condolences to the family and asks the public to respect the family’s privacy,” Glacier National Park said in a press release Friday.
At 9,557 feet, Mount Gould is the highest point along the Garden Wall in Glacier National Park. It remains unclear how high up Astle was when he fell.
Along with Glacier National Park officials, ALERT and the Flathead County Sheriff’s Office also assisted in the recovery operation.
