A climber was rescued from a 20,000-foot mountain two days after his partner died in a snow cave. The rescue operation began on Tuesday when the National Park Service received a distress call from a team of Malaysian climbers. A 48-year-old climber was rescued the same day after descending to a camp at 17,200 feet. On Friday, park personnel reached the snow cave and rescued the surviving climber, who reported the death of his partner.
