And That Is That
Never been to the Spatsizi, but would think that if he was pursuing sheep, that he would have been on a trail, following a drainage ridge or creek/river bottom to the alpine. In other words, I think at least some of his gear would have been found by now, if in fact it was ever there to be found. Long way of saying, disappearing without a trace leaves me thinking river.
That said, I really hope the family receives enough evidence to give them some of the closure they deserve.
As the others have said there is a good chance that his death? was caused by some water related incident while on his way to his destination.
Could have been similar to Garry Last’s injury while hiking in the Spatsizi wilderness.

Hate to say it but after almost 11 ˝ years it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack scenario.
