Edmonds resident Robert Andrew Prosser was killed in a 150-foot fall from a rock cliff in Grant County Sunday, our online news partner The Seattle Times reported Monday.
Grant County Coroner Craig Morrison said the 60-year-old Prosser and a companion had come to a canyon about nine miles north of Coulee City to do ice-climbing on sheer canyon walls that are popular with climbers from around the state, The Times said.
Morrison said it was not clear whether Prosser was on an icy surface when he fell shortly after 1 p.m. He died at the scene from head and chest injuries, the coroner said.
