A 30-year-old man from Banff is dead following a climbing accident in the Columbia Ice Fields area of Jasper National Park. The RCMP says the body of Clinton Mark Giesbrecht was recovered late Sunday by rescue officials. Police say the man's climbing partner had to hike for about two-and-a-half hours out to a highway to get help. Officials say it appears he fell about 900 metres as he was repelling down from a summit
