Body of Climber Found; Partner Still Missing
From Times Wire Reports
Rangers held out little hope they would find a missing Mount Rainier climber alive, after the body of his fallen companion was recovered from a glacier.
The two climbers had been trying the difficult Liberty Ridge route along the north side of the 14,411-foot peak, where two others died in recent weeks.
The dead climber was identified as Luke Casady, 29, of Stevensville, Mont. Missing was Ansel Vizcaya, 29, of Missoula, Mont.
