Longs Peak tragedy highlights Agnes Vaille rescue
The 1918 Longs Peak ascent ended in Agnes Vaille's death after a fall on the East Face. Swiss climber Walter Kiener, frostbitten, led a rescue party from Timberline Cabin, with fellow climbers and rangers, returning with Vaille's body to Tahosa Valley. The search continued for Herbert Sortland until late February.
