Park rangers are asking the public to be on the lookout for a 60-year-old Texas (made) who attempted to summit Longs Peak Friday morning and hasnt been seen since.
Steve Elliott was planning on ascending the mountain via the Clarks Arrow/Loft Route and returning on the Keyhole Route.
The park says conditions were stormy on Friday morning, and there was ice reported on many of the routes.
Search and rescue crews are looking for Elliott in the Chasm Lake area, Clarks Arrow/Loft Route and Glacier Gorge, but say the weather is quickly deteriorating, hindering their efforts.
Helicopters have also conducted an overhead search on the Keyhole Route, the most popular way to get up the 14,259-foot peak.
