Reminds me of that mountain hiking party who all just randomly went missing and were never found. There's just one last incredibly surreal video of them silently trekking a sheer mountainside. That's all anyone really knows.

Maybe this type of last image is common. The first time I started being aware of avalanches was when the climbers Jonny Copp, Micah Dash, and Wade Johnson were all killed in an avalanche in the Himalayas. I remember seeing the last photo on their camera and it was eerily lit, predawn, with a faint figure walking through the snow into the dark.

It was the Martin Moran party in 2019. They did end up recovering some of the bodies and a GoPro, which shows that last bit of footage. It's assumed that the narrow path they were crossing in the video gave out shortly after the filming ended and caused an avalanche.

Googling Martin Moran video will probably find it. It's totally SFW, just some climbers trekking. But the implication is surreal.
