Idaho climber killed in 400-foot Mount Hood fall

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Authorities say a 66-year-old man from Idaho has died in a 400-foot fall on Mount Hood.

The Clackamas County Sheriff's Office has identified him as Ward Milo Maxfield of Paul, Idaho.

The sheriff's office said Thursday Maxfield was with a party of three other people, including a 17-year-old grandson.

Climbers said Maxfield was on the south side of the mountain, using a popular route to the summit, when he fell from a spot at about 10,000 feet.
