Redoubt Peak is a 3,115-metre (10,220 ft) mountain summit located on the shared border of Jasper National Park in Alberta, and Mount Robson Provincial Park in British Columbia, Canada.
On a ledge Fuhrer found "Slark’s rucksack with a pair of mountain boots in addition to the rest of the stuff; these were small boots, and from his size Slark must have had big feet, so I think it probable that Rutis was climbing in stockinged feet on the cliffs directly below the summit when they fell.
I am firmly convinced that they fell and were not struck by falling stones", on the summit they found a tin containing the names of the missing climbers.
