Remains of American Climber Found in Peru After 22 Years
An American mountain climber who never came home from a trip to Peru has finally been found. Reports say William Stampfl, 59, hasn't been seen since his trip in 2002. He was believed to have been lost to an avalanche on Huascaran, the country's tallest mountain. The mummified remains of a climber were found in the mountains due to receding glacier ice. Video shows the clothing and climbing boots well preserved after decades under snow and ice. Inside Edition Digital’s Mara Montalbano has more.

@pohanahawaii If he was swept down the mountain by an avalanche, there is a good possibility he could have fallen in a crevasse. Now the more likely scenario is that he was just covered by snow pack and it took this long for him to thaw out. Yet, We have found ice men who fell in a glacier crevasse that melted out after thousands of years. So it's not improbable.

Rest in peace, William Stampfl. It's incredible how nature preserved him all these years, reminding us of the power and mystery of the mountains. Condolences to his family who finally have some closure after two decades. 🕊

It’s not really caring enough. I’m sure anyone would want to take all the bodies found anywhere down. But it’s hard and could result in the rescuers death too. It’s more so they had the ability to safely get him down.
At least his body can go home, many hikers dont

I’ve heard when hiking on Everest it’s common to see corpses (in red jackets laying on ground etc) they cannot be rescued due to the danger and efforts. So they just continue hiking while treating it as a burial sanctuary.

I was born in 2002 and haven't even quite turned 22 yet. It's crazy that I've lived my whole life, infant to adulthood, while this guy has been lost and wasting away on some mountain side. I feel for his family who realistically probably knew what happened, but could never have real closure.
Gosh!
Atleast he passed doing what he loves 😢 RIP 🕊️
So glad for the family to have him brought home.
That's horrible...
RIP ❤
Rest in peace, I’m happy you were finally found
Man how sad rip my condolences
So sad Rest In Peace William Stampfl
I hope mother nature can soon recover from this horrifying loss of their beloved ice glacier
RIP Legend
This poor man. may his family find peace in closure.
This poor man. I know it doesn't really bring closure to the family, per say, but I'm sure it's a relief to at least finally know what happened to him. Even if it's still devastating. My thoughts and prayers go out to this man and his family, and to the last remaining hiker who has yet to be found. May all 3 men rest in peace
This is terrible. But at least the family is getting some closure. Prayers sent to them for healing
2002 is my birth year. This guy has been buried in snow for as long as i have lived. That is absolutely insane.
Oh my gosh that’s gnarly what a story
Pity it wasn’t the son of a friend of my paternal grandmother that they found. I think he died mountain climbing somewhere in South America and they didn’t find his body but I am not entirely sure.

Congrats on a successful mission!😊
It goes to prove earth's temperature is growing as glaciers have been melting much quicker and more extensively within the past few years unearthing more then frozen hikers and planes.

It’s kind of disrespectful to show his body like that.

His body was frozen in time.
Bro why people do this. They often die
got some serious sunburn on his head
