Avalanche injures climbers on Mount Rainier near Disappointment Cleaver
Park spokesman Dave Uberuaga reports four to five parties roped together with five or six climbers per rope. One party used ice picks to halt a slide while another was swept from Disappointment Cleaver at 11 000 to 12 000 feet on the mountain's southeast face. A climber not in danger used a cell phone to summon help. Temperatures recently neared 80s as warm spring weather likely triggered the avalanche. Mount Rainier is about 50 miles from Seattle.
