Northern Cascades, Washington: (3) Mt. St. Helens. On 10 August 1948 L. W. Taylor (55) and two companions were climbing without rope on Mt. St. Helens. Taylor slipped and slid about 200 feet, and then fell 50 feet into a crevasse, where he was killed.

Analysis. This again appears to be a case of persons attempting a climb beyond their capacities. Lack of detailed information concerning the circumstances makes further comment unwarranted.
