Alaskan climbing star dies in fall from Yosemite's El Capitan

A popular Alaskan climber fell to his death from Yosemite National Park's El Capitan, marking the third death in the park this summer. Balin Miller, 23, died in a climbing accident Wednesday, his mother Jeanine Girard-Moorman confirmed. The death comes on the first day of the federal government shutdown, which left national parks “generally” open, with limited operations and closed visitors centers, according to the National Park Service.
