snowmobiler falls into mount st helens

Amsnow
John Slemp sure has a tale to tell after he survived a 100-200 ft. fall into Mount St. Helens. His group had taken their sleds up to the west crater rim, he and his son, Jared, and a buddy parked their snowmobiles. Then Slemp and his son crawled on all fours to within 20 ft. of the edge of a snow cornice that overhung the crater. The cornice gave way causing John to fall and Jared to dangle from the edge.
