MOUNTAINEERING -- A helicopter crew using a grabber device on a long cable were able to recover the bodies of three Mount Rainier climbers today from a dangerous slope below the Willis Wall.

The climbers died in a fall while attempting a difficult and dangerous route up Liberty Ridge in May. Their bodies were detected during a training flight this week in the debris field on the Carbon Glacier.
