That hiker was later identified as William Stampfl. He had been in that spot frozen in time for 22 years.

“I noticed right off the bat this climber had a wedding ring on, you could see his ring,” Cooper said. “It hit me … this guy had a family, at least a wife and they were expecting him home and he never came home.”
