Rainier Falling Down

Print E-mail

On June 24, a massive rockfall ripped from the top of Mount Rainier's Nisqually Cleaver, dropping house-sized rocks and thousands of tons of ice onto the Nisqually Glacier below. The rockfalls continued for two weeks, affecting skiing and climbing routes. For a full account of the damage, check out the October issue of Backcountry Magazine.
