'Hikéi' killed in fa—ll * The east slopes of the Olympic Mountains claimed the life of yet another climber July 18, when 48-year-old Olympia resident Suzann Olson died in a fall from a steep slope on the Sawtooth Ridge on Mount Lincoln above Mildred Lakes, Mason County Coroner Martha Reed said Olson apparently, d instantly of head and neck ries, adding that an autopsy con- firmed the initial finding. Accord- ing to an Olympic National Park investigation, Olson fell some 250 yards,.Reed said. The coroner said Olson had been climbing with two compan- ions along a rocky traverse on the Rectagon, a spire on the craggy ridge that runs along the national park border between Mildred Lakes and Flapjack Lakes, when she kicked a rock or stumbled on a root and fell forward. One of her companions, A] Mix, hiked the 12 miles out to the Staircase Ranger Station, arriving after midnight Wednesday morn- ing to notify officials of the acci- HEnF, "'a‘c‘c‘o‘rding to a spokesman for the National Park Service, 01- son‘s other companion, Mix’s daughter, Brenda, stayed near the scene, The climber’s body was removed Wednesday by a crew of US. Forest Service, Olympic Na» tional Park and Olympic Moun- tain Rescue personnel, using a private helicopter because of the remote location of the accident. Olympic National Park spokesman Barbara Maynes said the route Olson was climbing was a difficult one which is rated a Class 4 climb. That, Maynes said, means that it can be made without ropes but that an un- , roped climber who falls faces seri- ous injury or death because of the steepness of the terrain. Survivors, according to the cor- 1; oner, included Olson‘s husband, Richard Olson of Olympia, and several children. Maynes said the fatality was yet the fourth in four weeks in the tional Park, .2 3 i w Wth xx >9 \r S J Eastern Olympics and the third§\ It. in 16 days in the Olympic Nags o Zalma 6.
