Sole expedition survivor vows to retry Mt Ritter climb
Bill Alves, sole survivor of a five man Sierra Club expedition that perished on Mt Ritter, plans to tackle the peak again by Labor Day weekend. Four climbers from the San Francisco Bay Area died after a sudden thunderstorm and a high wind trap near the summit. Alves, hospitalized in Madera, described the storm and the difficult retreat, noting heavy snow and freezing conditions. The four deceased were Glen Welsh of Redwood City, Gordon Howe of Palo Alto, Bob Smith of Santa Clara, and Richard Schroeder of San Jose. He endured a grueling retreat after the party became separated and spent a night in the cold before reaching ranger stations.
