While skiing the Muir and lower Nisqually on Rainier today I heard the news and saw some of the recovery high above. Condolences to the friends and family.
Here's a link to the news story.

crazy stuff and vibes to family and friends.
my buddy got a call from his brothers girlfriend saying that he had called and said that someone had fallen into a crevasse. Then we found out that it was his buddy that had fallen and died. real crazy stuff.
It's too bad when someone experienced in the sport is lost.
RIP

I think the Nisqually can be especially dangerous because it seems so tame at times. Such a bummer.

RIP I do enjoy what the sole commenter on that article said. Reminds me of CR's quote.

No, comments like that are total bullshit. I don't know about you, but I want to die when I'm old and burned out from years of doing what I love, not in my prime.

but suppose you can quit skiing, and face a safe life, with less danger, or you can continue to ski, and know that every day you go out, there is the possibility of death.

Someone said (possibly CR's mom or dad?) something along the lines of "It isn't comforting in the least to know someone died doing what they loved.  What is comforting is that they lived doing something they loved."  That quote resonates deep in my opinion.

Great, thanks for your opinion, everyone's entitled to their own though. I take more comfort in my brother's death knowing that he brought it upon himslef through his reckless actions. At least he wasn't just blindsided on his commute to work like my oldest brother.

Prayers to the skier's family for sure.

Was Tucker trying to ski the Nisqually Ice Cliff?

My guess is they were probably enroute to ski the Fuhrer Finger, since that is a pretty popular descent. This is just supposition. They were still really high on the Nisqually.
