Seattle rock climber killed in fall
09:50 AM PDT on Tuesday, September 9, 2008
A 31-year-old Seattle man was killed in a rock climbing accident in the Mazama area.
The Okanogan County Sheriff's Office says the wife of Ryan Alan Murray Triplett called on Monday afternoon to report her husband overdue from a hiking trip.
Triplett, an avid rock climber and cyclist, was supposed to be in the Goat Wall area off of Lost River Road out of Mazama.
Hikers in the area discovered his vehicle and his dog at the base of a cliff.
The Sheriff's Office, along with Okanogan County Search and Rescue and Aero Methow Rescue Service, were called to the area.
At about 2:30 p.m. Triplett's body was found in a rocky area of what is call "Prime Rib."
The Sheriff's Offices says it appears that Triplett had been climbing alone and had fallen, possibly sometime on Sunday.
Rescuers were able to climb into the area and recover Triplett's body.
