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