Two climbers dropped almost 200 feet with their deaths while attempting to scale a mountain in the Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming on the weekend, officials said.

27 Tyler Strandberg, and Catherine Nix, 28, were not responsive when they were located by park rangers on Tweewinot Mountain on Saturday on a rocky ledge, the National Park Service said in a statement.

While Nix hailed from Port Chester, Ny, Strandberg was from Raleigh, North Carolina.

The pair were 26, with Rebecca Anderson, when they fell as they attempted to reach Tweewinot’s 12,330-foot peak on Saturday morning . Anderson phoned 911 at around 11 a.m. (1 p.m. ET) and reported that her comrades had fallen out of sight and weren’t reacting. She cannot go and said she was stranded on a tiny ledge, the park service said in its news release.

After scaling for around an hour or so crisis responders reached Anderson. She wasn’t injured.
