This just in from The Mother Lode. " Rangers say a 40-year old man from British Columbia, Canada, was forced to spend the night approximately 230 feet below the summit in a hanging tent on Sunday due to bad weather and a stuck climbing rope. They say when he tried to open a rainfly to shelter him from the storm he slipped and fell nearly 15 feet down the side of the rock. Rangers say he was able to get back into the hanging tent. However, during the night between four and six inches of snow fell with temperatures in the mid-twenties exposing the man to possible hypothermia."
