Rangers Await Weather to Recover Colleague's Body Mount Rainier National Park rangers are waiting for better weather on the Washington state peak to recover the body of a colleague who died while rescuing four injured climbers. Park spokesman Kevin Bacher says Saturday's forecast is promising and crews have a helicopter on standby should the weather break enough for a flight.

Hall, 33, was killed Thursday, June 21, 2012 as he was helping evacuate climbers from a crevasse near the summit of the 14,441-foot mountain.

Hall died Thursday after helping four climbers from Texas who fell near the 14,411-foot mountain's peak. Three of those climbers are in the hospital while the fourth managed to hike off the mountain Friday. Rain and clouds moved in to the Puget Sound region Friday.
