Every year !!!

More climbers lost on Mt Hood. They are always described as "experienced climbers", and they always have to be rescued, endangering the rescuer's live's in the process.

Mt Hood ain't exactly Everest, but it's as treacherous in many ways. Every year we go through this stupid scenario.

Am I the only one who thinks it's an idiotic, foolhardy way to die? Just plain dumb!!!

One body found, and the search has been postponed due to the (deadly) conditions on the mountain. The other two will probably show up after the Spring thaw.
