On Tuesday, August 26th, 2025 during the late afternoon/ early evening hours, a professional climbing team from North Carolina summited Cloud Peak and descended on the northern route of the peak, prior to a summit attempt on Woolsey Peak the next day.
The climbers made a high altitude camp for the evening. … While making camp the climbers noticed a slight reflection a few hundred feet above them underneath a ledge. … The climbers were confident it was a backpack.

The Big Horn County, Wyoming Sheriff says he believes Gardner succumbed to a tragic accident as many have surmised.
Special thanks to a spectacular professional group of technical climbers who were in exactly the right spot, at the right moment, with the right light, to notice a small piece of fabric on a pack that was otherwise undetectable, for selflessly aborting their plans and working with SAR Teams to find Gardner, providing closure to his family.
