JACKSON, Wyo. -- Authorities have recovered the body of a climber who fell more than 2,500 feet to his death Sunday while climbing the northwest side of Grand Teton peak.

With the assistance of a Teton Interagency contract helicopter, Grand Teton National Park rangers located the body of Don Ivie, 45, of Springfield, Mo. After searching by foot for nearly seven hours on Monday, rangers eventually spotted the body from the air.

Grand Teton grizzly family causing bear jams

CHEYENNE, Wyo. -- A grizzly bear clan famous for its frequent roadside appearances in Grand Teton National Park is keeping park rangers especially busy this summer tending to tourist critter jams.

The cubs are cute -- no question about that -- but a female grizzly with cubs happens to be one of the most dangerous animals in North America. And this Grand Teton clan has a history: One attacked a hiker; another was shot and killed by a hunter.

Biologists speculate the unusually camera-friendly behavior by Grizzly No. 399 and her daughter, No. 610, might serve to keep at bay adult male grizzlies, which sometimes kill cubs not their own. Five spunky cubs recently have joined the clan, adding to the tourist traffic.

The men from Montana and Utah left Saturday and were supposed to return Sunday but were reported missing after one didn't show up at work Monday.

A helicopter search found no signs of the men Monday.
