Lima, Peru — Twenty two years ago, an avalanche buried American climber William Stampfl as he made his way up one of the highest peaks in the Andes mountains. His family knew there was little hope of finding him alive, or even of retrieving his corpse from the thick fields of snow and the freezing ice sheets that cover the 6,700-meter (22,000-foot) tall Huascaran peak. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] But in June, Stampfl’s daughter got a call from a stranger, who said he had come across the climber’s frozen, and mostly intact body, as he made his own ascent up Huascaran. “It’s been a shock” said Jennifer Stampfl, 53.
