Road family drove down was gated closed 11/1 but vandals broke lock.

Re: Road family went down was closed by gate.

I'm still in awe of the stupidity involved with the decision to go up a mountain road that was clearly marked as NOT being maintained in the winter and it was snowing heavily. What a way to buy the farm-:OWNED:by self.

Re: Road family went down was closed by gate.

And now, they are blaming the rescuers....http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16109367/

It was tragic, but apparently his fault, he was driving and decided to leave the vehicle. Why is everyone now looking to blame someone else?

Yeah really. Some sort of technological device would have helped A LOT. He was a senior editor too, so it's not like he was some peon that wasn't making any money.

You idiot. It's not like they had a 5 day supply of Propel. They had to stay warm.

Why don't you STFU and GTFO and help search for the 3 missing "Experienced" hikers on Mt. Hood.:OWNED:

burning the tires was fine, since they ran the car out of gas for heat

6 days, no camp, no established fire and disable your only means for transportation. :OWNED:

FWIW, I probably would have done the same thing and suffered the same fate, OK, but I sure as hell would hope the media would not be making a martyr out of me like I did some heroic things when all I did was make a series of mistakes.

No. They went up there knowing it was going to be snowing hard- f*ck them. I'm not chomping at the bit to win a Darwin Award.

GOVERNMENT CAMP, Ore. -- Blinding snow and avalanche conditionsThey went up there under these conditions. Sorry. See ya in the spring. Dopes. forced some of the rescuers to retreat Monday in the search for three missing climbers on Mount Hood.

On Friday, Kelly James, of Dallas, Texas, become injured and he carved out a snow cave with the help of his fellow climbers, Brian Hall, 37, also from Dallas, and Jerry ?Nikko? Cook, 36, of Brooklyn, N.Y., according to deputy Pete Hughes of the Hood River County Sheriff?s Office.

Searchers headed up the North and South sides of the ice-covered mountain Monday morning, but around noon teams on the South side were forced to head back down, or risk getting stranded themselves.

Family friend Jessica Nunez said the climbers were well-prepared to survive on the mountain.

?Kelly and Brian are both experienced mountain climbers,? Nunez said. "They?ve climbed quite a bit in that area, but they?ve never climbed Mount Hood.?

It was snowing hard at Timberline Lodge over the weekend, where the three were to have met the friends.

Don't say that. Every time I go up to Timberline Lodge I think about what an unbelievable loss it'd be if we lost that place.
I do hope they get frostbite and are used as an example of why Nature owns humans.
