| [Desert Sun] A 50-year-old woman died while rock climbing in Joshua Tree National Park on Saturday, according to park superintendent David Smith. Park service rescuers aided in the incident near the Sheep Pass group campsite. The woman's identity was being withheld pending notification of next of kin. It is the second reported climbing death in the popular national park this year, which is known for its iconic rock formations and climbing trails. San Diego schoolteacher Michael Spitz, 35, died while free-solo climbing on Jan. 16. His body was found at the base of the Sentinel Wall near the Hidden Valley Nature Trail the next morning. |
