ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- An Italian who survived
an avalanche that killed fellow climbers, including an Alaskan, on the
world's second-highest peak said Wednesday poor equipment and a mistake
by a porter contributed to the tragedy.

Marco Confortola was among 30 mountaineers who began their ascent of K2
on Friday. He was stranded after an ice fall swept some climbers away
and left others stranded in frigid conditions just below the
28,250-foot summit.

SEATTLE -- Seattle architect Zach Price hopes
to reach the peak of Mount Rainier at sunset Monday, putting him only
one mountain away from scaling the highest peaks in each state in less
than 50 days.

Price, 30, teamed up with longtime friend and
fellow climber Mike Haugen, a 31-year-old middle-school teacher from
Denver, for the cross-country mountain-climbing blitz. Their adventure
is part of a program of outdoor-equipment maker Coleman to get kids
physically active and to fight childhood obesity.
