Climber dies on Rainier; two others await rescue

Climber dies on Mount Rainier; national park says two others awaiting rescue at Camp Muir.

LONGMIRE — One climber has died on Mount Rainier and the national park says two others are awaiting rescue at Camp Muir.

Ranger Sandi Kinzer at Longmire says a helicopter is waiting for a snow storm to clear to land at Camp Muir, which is at about 10,000 feet elevation. Kinzer says one of the survivors has frostbite and can't walk out from the shelter.

Kinzer says the three went on a day hike Monday to Camp Muir when they were caught in a blizzard on the Muir snowfield.
