It is with very heavy hearts that we inform you that Steve Dowall, our Lead Technical Officer, has gone missing in bad weather while climbing New Zealand’s Mount Cook.  Steve is an experienced climber. He was last seen on the afternoon of Thursday 26th November. There has been a prolonged search, hampered by bad weather conditions.

We are strongly supporting Steve’s wife, Sovann, and their three children. We will communicate updates here at the site.

Steve is much-loved at LIFT and occupies our thoughts and prayers.  Please reach out to us if you would like to at this time.
