Rainier Climber Dies

A tragic event at Mount Rainer National Park, as an adventurer died after falling into a crevasse. The climber was in the park as part of a four man team, when he fell.

The reposts indicate that he was killed instantly. Other climbers also fell at the same time but landed without falling as far. The other injured men were taken to the hospital but Adams was unable to be saved. Many people hike and climb in national parks every day and such accidents are usually rare, but it is an activity that always carries a risk.

Lee Adams was known by friends and family as an avid climber, and died doing what he loved. Condolences to all who feel his loss.
