## Resource

A National Park Service ranger, Robin Pendery, died tragically after falling into a crevasse on Mount McKinley while on patrol—just days after three climbers from a Latvian expedition also perished in a separate fall on the same peak. Pendery, a dedicated seasonal mountaineering ranger who had served with the Denali staff since 2024, was remembered as a valued colleague and hero for her tireless commitment to climber safety in one of the world’s most extreme environments. Rescue efforts were unsuccessful, and the incident is now under investigation, serving as a sobering reminder of the deadly risks faced by those who brave these heights.
