TALKEETNA, Alaska (AP) — National Park Service rangers are searching for a climber who fell from a 16,000-foot-high (4,800-meter-high) ridge at Denali National Park and Preserve in Alaska, officials announced Saturday.The climber’s partner told rangers early Saturday morning the fall occurred Friday night while they were on a route known as the West Buttress to Peters Glacier, the agency said. The partner saw the fall but couldn’t see where the climber came to rest.Rangers began an aerial and ground search for the climber, but cloudy weather conditions prevented a helicopter from accessing the climber’s location, officials said.
