Title	After the plane was completely excavated and no bodies were found, the search was abandoned.
Description	Title from finding aid : "After the plane was completely excavated and no bodies were found, the search was abandoned. The men began the long climb up the ice wall behind camp six, which was left intact. Several hundred feet of the climb was made by going hand over hand up a 3/8 inch rope without packs. The packs were later drawn up by ropes, one at a time." Photograph shows camp 6 and a few men of the expedition in the foreground, other men of the expedition can be seen approaching the ice wall for the ascent of the ice wall while others are making the climb.
