ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK, COLO. (AP) -- A man killed in Rocky Mountain National Park over the weekend is at least the fifth person to die while hiking or climbing in the park this year.
Park spokeswoman Kyle Patterson says the man fell while ice-climbing a route called All Mixed Up on Thatchtop Mountain.
His name hasn't been released. Officials say he was a 42-year-old from Denver.
At least two people have died this year after falling on 14,259-foot Longs Peak, the park's tallest mountain and the 15th highest in the state.
One person died on Taylor Glacier and another on a snow field near Finch Lake near the park's southern boundary.
