Crew members found a stranded man several hundred feet up a rock wall on Crown Mountain.
“And below him, they were able to spot another subject that appeared to be not moving,” Mike Danks of North Shore Rescue said.
Crews got to the man, who did not survive.
Danks says the men were experienced hikers who were climbing the Widowmaker but went off-route.
