One climber was killed and five others had to be rescued by helicopter from Mount Rainier this week after the group was hit by a rockfall along a treacherous path the National Park Service warned has the “reputation of being the hardest and most-dangerous” route on the mountain.
The deadly incident happened at about 8 p.m. Wednesday along the Washington state peak’s Liberty Ridge route, more than 10,000 feet above sea level.
A 46-year-old man was killed in the rockfall, while two other people were injured – one seriously, Q13 Fox reported.
