YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. — An experienced South Korean mountain climber was caught in an avalanche on Yosemite National Park’s iconic Half Dome and was stranded overnight with a broken leg on the granite monolith before he was rescued Tuesday.
Jun Ho Wang, 38, was swept more than 100 yards down a rocky approach to the granite face and into an icy low-lying gully Monday afternoon. A fellow climber stayed with him overnight. About 16 hours after Wang was stranded, he was plucked from the northwest face by a helicopter crew and flown to safety.
