ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK, Colo. (AP/CBS4) - Authorities say rescuers have recovered the body of a man who was killed in a weekend rock fall and avalanche that also injured two climbers at Rocky Mountain National Park. The man, identified as Christopher Clark of Land O'Lakes, Florida, was 25-years-old.
