Severe winter weather in California hindered the search. Sheriff's Department spokesman Nathan Campos said rescuers were "taken off the mountain for their safety" while searches continued "with drones and helicopters when the weather allowed."
There is a serious risk of avalanches in the area, and authorities advise the public to stay away.
“It is extremely dangerous, even for experienced tourists it is difficult to get through there,” said Campos. According to him, when the weather clears up, rescuers plan to resume searches on the ground.
Authorities are looking for another missing tourist from Hawthorne, California, Bob Gregory.
Sands, who grew up in Yorkshire, has had a long career in the film industry with dozens of film and television roles. He lived in the Los Angeles area for many years with his wife, writer Eugenia Sitkowitz. He has three children. In a 2018 interview with The Guardian, Sands spoke about his passion for mountaineering and the importance of continuing new adventures as he ages. In a 2020 interview, he described himself as the happiest person living "near the top of a mountain".
