A rock climber died on North Vancouver’s Crown Mountain Wednesday, after falling to his death.
A pair of climbers were attempting the Widowmaker Arete cliff when the lead climber took a fall, North Shore Rescue said in a statement. Four pieces of protection equipment pulled out of the rock face, causing him to fall about 75 metres below his belayer.
