Death on Mt. Hood

[DPS]

Does anybody have more information on the body that was discovered at Illumination Saddle. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/person-found-dead-at-9400-feet-on-mount-hood-in-oregon-crews-attempt-to-recover-body/ar-BB10o1A3?ocid=iehp

This article sums it up pretty well.

I'm assuming he fell while ski traversing below crater rock, heading towards illumination.  Took a bad fall on ice causing internal injuries, wasn't discovered until an unknown amount of time later.  Experienced climber, experienced skier, in an area that many of us would deem as "safe".  Sad day all around.

Dammit. 

Horrible news and way too close to situations I've brought on myself, and luckily escaped from.   Emphasis on luck.
