Alex Lowe was a world-class climber and called one of the best. In 1999 Alex and his cameraman, David bridges were hit by a avalanche in a tibetan mountain, There bodies might of been found frozen in ice. Last wednesday, 2 other climbers were close to where the avalanche hit 16 years ago and saw 2 bodies frozen approximately in the same place where Alex Lowe went missing. Alex's wife said, "Alex and David vanished, were captured and frozen in time. Sixteen years of life has been lived and now they are found. We are thankful,"
When someone will risk there life for there passion it is so inspiring for me. Alex Lowe loved climbing and ended up paying the ultimate price. Some would call him selfish some would call him courageous i think more on the courageous side myself. Its good that there bodies were found for the families of Alex and david. Alex's memory lives on through the "Alex Lowe Charitable Foundation" - a foundation that offers technical training for himalayan mountain workers.

This is so sad, and to be honest, a little creepy.
