A National Park Service mountaineering ranger, Robin Pendery, died after falling into a crevasse on Mount McKinley (Denali) during a climbing patrol. The incident occurred near the 14,000-foot camp, and rescue efforts were unsuccessful. Pendery's death follows a recent accident involving three Latvian climbers on the same mountain.

Three Latvian climbers died and a fourth survived after a fall near Denali Pass on Mount McKinley. Rescue crews evacuated the surviving climber using a long-line extraction system due to challenging terrain and weather. Recovery efforts for the deceased remain ongoing.
