- Share via
Two men caught in bad weather high atop Mt. Rainier were found by rescuers after they called for help on their cellular phone. Park rangers reached Geoffrey McGrath of Seattle and Martin Bullard of the Portland, Ore., area and were working through the afternoon to determine the best way to get them off the mountain. McGrath and Bullard reached the mountain’s 14,410-foot summit Sunday, along with three other climbers. As they began to descend, they ran into whiteout conditions, Mt. Rainier National Park spokeswoman Maria Gillett said. The three other climbers went back to the summit to take shelter by some rocks.
