A 41-year-old man who fell to his death earlier this week had recently recovered from North America's highest mountain.

Seattle man Alex Chiu died after falling 3,000 feet while ski mountaineering on Mount McKinley's West Buttress route in Denali National Park, Alaska, the National Park Service said.

The body of a 41-year-old ski mountaineer has been recovered after he fell over 3,000 feet off of Mount McKinley, the tallest mountain in North America, officials said.

Alex Chiu died after he fell 3,000 feet from Alaska’s Mount McKinley. The 41-year-old man wasn’t wearing a rope during the incident. Two mountaineers on the excursion with Chiu witnessed him fall.

In 2010, a French mountaineer fell to his death in nearly the same location. His body was never recovered. Approximately 500 climbers are currently on Mount McKinley.
