ONE EXTRA FROM PAGE A1 “They were planning to climb both the east and west peaks of the Lions,” search master George Zilahi says of Mark Jones, 17, and Dwayne Buhler, 22. The immediate concern of the searchers was that the two, who had been in the area only once before when bad weather had stopped an earlier attempt, had met with a climbing accident. Searchers, operating from Lions Bay and from the Cypress Bowl area, spent the night in the area, coming across the two missing climbers mid-morning Tuesday. They were sur- prised to find a third hiker — who had not been reported missing — with them. “Jones and Buhler had chmbed the west peak using the standard route and met Markus Kellerhals at . the peak,” Zilahi says. “They decided to tackle the east peak together.” The three used a “semi- technical” climbing route to scale the west peak, arriving Introductory # OFFER FOR LIMITED TIME ONLY!

Rather than continue their descent in darkness, the three decided to bed down for the night on the ledge they had reached. “They made a_ wise decision to stay put on the ledge,” Zilahi says. At about 6 a.m. Tuesday, the three continued their descent and then met with search teams on the way out of the area. All three were cold, and wet as heavy rainfall had begun in the early hours of , the day, but unharmed and in good spirits according to Zilahi. The search master ap- plauded the wisdom the three displayed by spending the night on the ledge rather than attempting to find their way out, but questioned | their objectives. “I would say that they pushed their luck a little when they tried to climb both , peaks in one day,” BMW.
