Climber Rescued From Crevasse

TIMBERLINE LODGE, ORE - Rescuers pulled a California man from a crevasse at the 9,600-foot level of Mount Hood on Tuesday - several hours after he fell in, the Clackamas County sheriff's office said.

The man was identified as Geoffry Godfrey, 60, of Ventura, Calif., who was climbing the mountain with Mark Reynolds, 56, of Fallon, Nev.

The two were not roped together.

Paramedics on the mountain said Godfrey had broken bones in his face, suffered groin pain and was showing signs of hypothermia and shock.

He was taken by ski lift, snow cat and ground transportation to a landing zone and airlifted by the Oregon Army National Guard to a Portland hospital.

Rescuers said Godfrey fell about 30 feet. Reynolds called for help by cell phone at about 7 a.m
