A rock climber on North Vancouver's Crown Mountain fell to his death Wednesday while his partner tried in vain to save him. "He ended up falling, hitting the ledge where his friend was and ended up falling ... into the bottom of the gully. A helicopter spotted the surviving climber stranded on a ledge 60 metres up and the dead hiker at the bottom of the cliff face. The survivor told rescuers that the lead climber was about 15 metres above him when the fall happened. The surviving climber was recovered and is now in Lions' Gate Hospital.
