GENEVA – The remains of a climber discovered in the Swiss Alps in 2022 have been identified as those of a British mountaineer who went missing 52 years ago, local police said on Thursday.

The climber was reported missing in July 1971, but search teams at the time turned up nothing, said police in the canton of Valais, south-west Switzerland. It took a year to identify the person as experts worked their way through the case files of missing climbers.
