A rock climber on North Vancouver's Crown Mountain fell to his death Wednesday while his partner tried in vain to save him. Danks says the man fell about 75 metres to his death. 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.
