Four men were scaling the Early Winters Spires , jagged peaks split by a cleft that is popular with climbers in Washington 's North Cascades mountains.

The group of four met with disaster when the anchor used to secure their ropes was torn from the rock while they were descending.

The anchor they were using, a metal spike called a piton, appeared to have been placed there by past climbers.
