Mt hood

This picture was taken about 15 minutes from my house. This is the northeast side of mt hood where I believe the search for three missing climbers is taking place. Lets keep those guys and their families and the rescue climbers in our prayers.

Yep that's a sad story there, but man alive call me crazy but if you live on the edge like that...your bound to fall off at some point.

Hope they find the other 2 guys...not looking good at this point.

Beautiful mountain. It sure is a sad deal about the climbers as it seems like all hope is gone whether they make it out alive.....but we need to learn from it. From the sounds of it looks like exposure. Hypothermia has killed 2 of my friends. The sad thing is most hunters know so very little about it.

I don't get TV or radio at home so I was in the dark about these guy's for quite awhile. The news I got came from a friend in Nova Scotia I met on another site.

The ones I'll really feel sorry for are not the climbers, they went unprepared for what they did. How about those that are out looking for them that may be injured or killed looking for guy's that as Brett said, "live on the edge"? Bad enough they do this to their own families, but in these cases they may also do it to their neighbors who are out looking for them.

Well that's off my chest!

By the way, Rileyhunter, you must be around Sandy or Boring somewhere, right?
