SEATTLE -- One of the six climbers presumed killed last week in a fall on Mount Rainier was 40-year-old Intel Corp. Vice President Uday Marty, the company confirmed Monday.
"Intel is greatly saddened to confirm that Intel Vice President Uday Marty is among the six mountain climbers missing and presumed dead following a fall on Mount Rainier," the company said in a statement. "We are providing support in this difficult time to Uday's wife and other members of his family."
The statement added that Marty "was an accomplished engineer and manager and was widely respected throughout the company.''
Marty, managing director of the company's business in Singapore, oversaw Intel's operations in Southeast Asia.
Earlier, the two guides feared dead after a climb on Mount Rainier have been identified by their organization as Eitan Green and Matthew Hegeman.
The families of the other three people who were on the climb requested their names not be released.
Alpine Ascents International released this statement Monday:
The group took off on the challenging climb last Monday.
On Saturday, only their equipment was found at the top of Carbon Glacier at an elevation of 9,500 feet.
Aerial crews spotted climbing and camping equipment littered over a debris field but no bodies.
Rescuers say the climbers likely fell more than 3,000 feet.
