The man’s name was being withheld pending notification of next of kin, and there was no immediate word on the condition of the others hit by the falling rocks. The RCMP also say that in two other separate incidents Saturday in the same area, a 24-year-old man suffered a head injury in a fall on the scree slope, while another hiker sustained a fracture in a fall.
