After snow and high winds scuttled a first attempt Tuesday morning, crews are again working to recover the body of a climber who died on Mount Adams over the weekend.

The Yakima County Sheriff's Office is not releasing the climber's name but said he's a 28-year-old Hillsboro man who was hiking with two other people. The man appears to have fallen while summiting the south side of the mountain.

Sgt. Nate Boyers, who is in charge of the recovery, declined to speculate on the cause of the fall, saying only that the area "is an extremely dangerous place."

Initial recovery efforts Tuesday were hampered, Boyers said, forcing a helicopter to turn back. Now, the sheriff's office is working on another approach that likely will include sending ground crews up.

There is no timetable for the recovery, the office said.

This isn't the first time search and rescue crews have had trouble on the mountain. In 2016, several people were injured trying to reach a climber who had fallen on the south side of the mountain, including one man hurt in a rockslide. Several others were hurt when a helicopter was spun around by high wind, running into a rock outcropping.

At more than 12,276 feet tall, Mount Adams is one of the highest Cascade Mountain peaks that can be climbed in a single day, though most climbers make it an overnight trip. The south side of the mountain is the most popular route, as it's considered a "non-technical" climb – though climbers typically still need ice axes and crampons year-round.

It marks yet another fall in the Cascade Mountains over Memorial Day weekend. Rescuers retrieved four climbers in two different incidents on Mount Hood, reaching one man who fell near the Hogsback area Saturday, and a group of three who fell in the same area Monday.

The Yakima County Sheriff's Office will release more information about the Mount Adams incident as the recovery effort progresses.
