Youth's Body Removed
From 30-Foot Crevasse
On Mount Rainier
LONGMIRE, Rainier National Park, (AP)- A mission that began with high hopes of rescue came to an end Monday night as exhausted mountain climbers removed the body of William Haupert from the ice and snow of Mt. Rainier.
Haupert, 20, son of a prominent Bethlehem, Pa., physician, died six hours after he and guide Gary Rose tumbled into a 30-foot crevasse when a snow bridge gave way under the weight of a 12-party climbing expedition on Ingraham Glacier, near the summit of Mt. Rainier.
Haupert's body was lowered by ropes and carried by nearly a score of members of the Seattle Mountain Rescue Council from the 13,000-foot level to Camp Muir, where pack horses completed the journey.
