A 1980 University graduate
died Friday in a mountaineering
accident on Mt. Jefferson.
Rick Sahley, 28, was a
geologist with the U S. Forest
Service in Vida and was active
in the University's Outdoor Pro
gram and geology department.
Sahley was working with
geology Prof. Bill Orr on a geo
chemistry project in fossil
shells. He also organized and
led University geology staff and
students on field trips to Mt. St.
Helens, where he had done ob
servations. He had intended to
return to the University for
graduate work in the future, ac
cording to Orr.
Sahley, from Cleveland, Ohio,
was climbing Mt. Jefferson,
west of Madras, with friends
Elizabeth Cony, Joel Myers and
Earl Benedict.
According to Cony, Sahley
fell at about 8,000 feet on the
10,000-foot Mt. Jefferson. The
climbers were not roped, Cony
said, and Sahley was
descending a 65-70 degree
slope to aid a fellow climber in
distress.
Sahley was traveling quickly
down the slope ad tripped. He
slid along the ro<my mountain
side and fell off several short
cliffs, traveling 2,000 to 2,500
feet into Milk Creek Canyon.
Cony said Sahley tried to stop
himself but failed when he lost
his ice axe.
He died instantly of head in
juries, she said.
Sahley had been climbing for
six years, and the recent climb
was the group’s second attempt
at climbing the mountain in the
Cascade range. The group had
climbed together regularly.
“He had a good scientific
curiosity,” said Orr. “Almost
fearless ”
The 12-year-old research
project in geochemistry Orr and
Sahley were conducting will
continue, said Orr. "But this will
set us back.”
Sahley was a "talented pho
tographer, writer and moun
taineer," Cony said.
