SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — Crews recovered the body of a 54-year-old man on Mount Olympus after police said he fell off a 100-foot cliff and died.

Officials with the Unified Police Department confirmed the body of Jame Roache had been taken off the mountain around 4:30 p.m.

Roache slipped on snow near the base of the West Slabs and “slid a considerable distance before hitting rocks below and dropping into a narrow space between a wall of rock and deep snow which had melted away from the wall,” according to a Facebook post from the Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue.

Officials said he was getting ready to climb with a friend when he slipped.

Crews spent several hours bringing his body off the mountain, as well as helping his friend down the mountain via helicopter.
