Malaysian climber who died near North America's highest peak identified

Authorities have identified the Malaysian climber who likely froze to death this week near Denali, North America's highest mountain, in Alaska. Zulkifli Bin Yusof, 36, likely died Wednesday after sheltering for days in a cave about 19,600 feet above the ground, Denali National Park spokesman Paul Ollig said Saturday. Park rangers recovered Bin Yusof's body Friday evening, Ollig added. The deceased climber was part of a team of three Malaysian men who got stuck in poor weather conditions on the mountain on Tuesday, when all developed hypothermia and were unable to descend after reaching the summit. One teammate was rescued Tuesday evening after descending to camp at 17,200 feet, and the other was rescued Friday morning. All three men had experience climbing other high-altitude mountains, Ollig said, and two of them had previously climbed Denali. The names of Bin Yusof's surviving teammates have not been released.
