The body of a climber from British Columbia was recovered by rangers at Washington state's Mount Rainier National Park.
The National Park Service said that the climber was identified as 52-year-old Canadian national Chun Hui Zhang, of Surrey.
He had been on a private, recreational summit climb of the mountain with friends.
On Monday, witnesses reported seeing a climber take a "substantial fall" while descending Rainier's Disappointment Cleaver route on the south side.
