Glacier National Park officials are asking for help in finding a man who went missing while climbing Reynolds Mountain near Logan Pass on Tuesday.
Adam Fuselier, 32, of Castle Pines, Colorado is described as a White male with light brown hair and blue eyes, is 6-foot-1 in height and weighs 180 pounds. He may be wearing a light green rain jacket, officials said.
Fuselier’s vehicle was found at Logan Pass on Wednesday. He was last heard from on Tuesday afternoon and was thought to have started his climb at Reynolds Mountain on Tuesday morning. Rangers learned Wednesday morning that he was overdue.
Rangers conducted a hasty search Wednesday, which was cut short by inclement weather. Mountain temperatures Wednesday night dipped into the low 40s as a potent rainstorm hit the park.
Authorities expect to renew the search effort Thursday. The National Weather Service indicates more favorable weather for searchers with decreasing winds and tapering of rainfall.
Park officials ask that if anyone saw a person resembling Fuselier in Glacier National Park on Aug. 29 to contact their tip line at 406-888-7077.
The 9,125-foot Reynolds Mountain is a matterhorn-style peak about 1.5 miles south of Logan Pass. The standard southwest route is considered a class 2-3 climb without much exposure.
The class 4 north face and east couloir routes are more challenging and exposed.
