LONGMIRE, Wash. —
A Mount Rainier climbing ranger has died during efforts to rescue four
injured climbers from Waco, Texas.
Mount Rainier National Park spokesman Kevin Bacher (BAA-ker) says
34-year-old Nick Hall fell 3,000 feet Thursday from the 13,700-foot level
of the 14,411-foot mountain. He was dead when other rangers reached him
several hours later.
A helicopter plucked two of the injured climbers off the mountain Thursday
night while two others were waiting out a worsening storm overnight with
the aid of park rangers.
The Texas party includes two men and two women. Bacher says all four have
non-life-threatening injuries. None was immediately identified.
The climbers were roped together when they fell on Emmons Glacier. The two
women at the end of the rope ended up in a crevasse. Rangers who responded
to a cell phone call helped them out of the crevasse. | d*i 发帖数: 9453 | 2 RIP
