FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Miss Taylor told the News Tribune newspaper of Tacoma, Washington, that Mr Kim, an experienced hiker, was alert, conscious and stable when he was found by the team of three searchers.
He was reported missing on Saturday after he fell down a slope and became separated from a group he was leading in the Paradise area, a popular high-elevation destination on the mountain’s southwest flank, about a 100-mile drive south from Seattle.
Snowshoers use specialised footgear that allows them to spread their weight over a larger area, which keeps them from sinking into deep snow and makes it possible to hike into snowy areas that would otherwise be inaccessible. Mr Kim, who has been snowshoeing for a decade, was well-equipped for a day trip but did not have overnight gear.
Because he was the leader of his group, other snowshoers were not able to accurately describe where he had slipped, Miss Taylor said. Searchers had initially believed he fell in a different area, based on descriptions from the group.
Miss Taylor said he was in a remote area with deep snow.
Mount Rainier has seen temperatures in the teens (around -9C), and eight inches of new snow fell in some places since Saturday. Wind-blown snow drifts were as high as 30 inches in some areas.
Bad weather prevented a helicopter rescue, so crews used a Sno-Cat snow vehicle to reach the area where Kim was.
Kim’s son, Malcom An, thanked authorities and the rescuers in a statement released through the National Park Service.
“A terrible situation that could have ended in tragedy, instead turned into another beautiful example of how Americans come together to help each other,” he said.
