Park ranger dies after falling into crevasse on America's tallest peak
National Park Service personnel tried to rescue Robin Pendery after she fell into a crevasse during a climbing patrol, officials said.
- On Thursday, Denali National Park and Preserve mountaineering ranger Robin Pendery died after falling into a crevasse while on patrol near the 14,000-foot camp on North America's tallest peak, National Park Service officials said.
- Pendery, a seasonal ranger from Enumclaw, Washington, joined the park staff in 2024 after working as a guide for Alpine Ascents International, where she climbed Mount Rainier and Mount Hood.
- The incident occurred at about 2 p.m. along the West Buttress route, the primary path for climbers attempting to summit the 20,310-foot mountain; National Park Service personnel initiated immediate rescue efforts but could not save the ranger.
- Denali Superintendent Brooke Merrell said on Friday that mountaineering rangers "dedicate themselves to serving visitors," and the park mourns the loss of a "valued colleague, friend and teammate."
- Pendery's death marks the fifth fatality on Denali this year, following three Latvian climbers who fell near Denali Pass at 18,200 feet on May 27 and another climber who died from a "medical event" at 18,700 feet on May 31.
