Robin Pendery of Enumclaw, Washington was a seasonal mountaineering ranger assigned to Denali National Park and Preserve. She fell Thursday while on climbing patrol on Mount McKinley, and died despite immediate rescue efforts, the park service said.<\/p>\n

The death is under investigation. It comes only a week after three climbers from a Latvian mountaineering expedition died after falling near a treacherous pass on McKinley. A fourth climber was rescued. They were part of a seven-person team traversing a route known for its exposed sections, where many climbers have died or been injured over the years.<\/p>\n

McKinley stands at about 20,310 feet (6,190 meters), and Pendery fell near what\u2019s known as the 14,000-foot (4,328-meter) camp.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur mountaineering rangers dedicate themselves to serving visitors and helping others in one of the most challenging environments in the world,\u201d Denali Superintendent Brooke Merrell said in a statement Friday. \u201cToday, we mourn the loss of a valued colleague, friend and teammate.\u201d<\/p>\n
