U.S.: Unlucky Mount St. Helens climber found; no, he didn’t survive.

  • Boom, it busted off and I saw him clawing for the edge with a startled look on his face, and then he disappeared. I was looking right at him, he was only 10 feet away … then he just disappeared.
  • Climber Scott Salkovics • On the death of fellow climber, Joseph Bohlig, who fell 1,500 feet to his death inside Mount St. Helens yesterday. The cornice that held him up fell out from under him, literally making him fall inside the volcano.  Salkovics was just watching Bohlig get his picture taken by a friend. source
