Zion Death Upside Down

In this April 26, 2011 file photo, search and rescue team members escort overdue hikers up and out of the canyon carved by the Left Fork of North Creek, more commonly known as the Subway in Zion National Park. A 74-year-old man was found dead after spending a night hanging upside down on his climbing ropes at Zion National Park, the park superintendent said Thursday, Sept. 20, 2012. It was the first death of a hiker in the Subway in many years _park officials were unable to immediately determine when the last death occurred there, although they are frequently called to rescue distressed hikers.
