Two Oregon Climbers Killed During Argentina Excursion

A climbing trip of a lifetime has turned to tragedy in Argentina for three Oregon men.  Twin brothers Greg and Eric Norse and David Reinhart were climbing Mount Aconcagua.  They were 800-feet from the 22,800 foot summit when David developed altitude sickness.  Greg and Eric went for help.  At the base camp, Eric died from cold and exhaustion. Craig Reinhart is David's brother: “They loved each other, and they loved their families. And this was all about that.”  David's body was spotted by a plane and a team is working to recover it.
