Let me start by saying that this story is devastating. Three mountain climbers in the state of Washington died after an apparent anchor failure that sent the group sinking 200 feet to the irregular rock, and then throbbly slide another 200 feet by a ramp. But there were four climbers in the group, which means that one survived, somehow, without broken bones, although he had internal injuries and head trauma. However, the surviving lonely, a 38 -year -old man from Seattle, I found his way to his car and led to a safe place. His story, as a county official said “is miraculous to say the least.” – Elizabeth Robinson, Bulletin editor
