Sad ...Isn't there a way an anchor could be installed somewhere along the rim, where a
fixed rope could be secured so people could
clip onto it and at least give them a feeling that they won't fall into the crater ???

Re: Sad ...Any anchor would get buried after every snowfall. Best approach is to just not walk out onto a cornice. There is plenty of room up there to walk around and get views without walking all the way to the edge.

Re: Sad ...Agreed. But, HOW are you going to explain

Re: Sad ...The most shocking thing was that it was his 68th summit of St. Helens...of all people he should have known to stay back. Very sad to lose a member of the community who loved the mountains as much as he seemed to.
