A climbing guide died Monday after a fall on Mount Shasta and four other people had to be rescued off the northern Californian mountain.
Jillian Elizabeth Webster, 32, was tethered to two climbers when one lost their footing on ice and pulled all three 1,500 to 2,500 feet straight down the mountain, according to the Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office. A nurse who happened to be climbing nearby administered CPR but Webster was pronounced dead at the hospital.
The man suffered an open fracture to his lower leg and head trauma and is listed in critical condition. The woman had a lower leg fracture, but was “alert and oriented,” police said.
