ANCHORAGE, Alaska - An aerial crew is searching for a Colorado climber missing on Alaska's Mount McKinley, the National Park Service said.

There was no sighting of 41-year-old Gerald Myers of Centennial, Colo., during a search Thursday, said Maureen McLaughlin, spokeswoman for Denali National Park Service.

Myers began a solo climb to the summit of the mountain on Tuesday. He was last seen Wednesday as he climbed the ridge approaching McKinley's 20,320-foot summit.
