Two other members of the climbing party who survived were flown from the mountain on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n
Conover was a Stanford Law School graduate who lived in Washington DC and worked for international law firm, King & Spalding.<\/p>\n
Vialletet lived in W\u0101naka and was a married father-of-two, who co-owned the mountain and ski guide company Summit Explorers with his wife Danielle.<\/p>\n
More than $90,000 dollars has been raised so far through a Givealittle page to support his wife and young children following his death.<\/p>\n
