Climbing ranger Nick Hall from Mt Ranier died last week after falling more than 3000 feet down the side of Mt Ranier while rescuing 4 climbers who were in need of assistance. All of those in need of rescue survived.
The video below is a quick news piece about the incident. Of interest to me are the comments below the article on whether or not people should pay for their own rescues. There is one unknown poster who lays out some pretty good arguments that people should not pay for there own rescues; R2T happens to agree with that stance.
