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-by self.

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?

That's because this is America and no one is responsible for their actions.

died near a tourist lodge that could have provided warmth, shelter and food for months.

That lodge was actually checked several times and was CLOSED.

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.

If he would have just stayed with the car... and NOT burned the tires so they could have driven out when the snow melted like it did.

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.

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.

RISKY WEATHER HAMPERS MOUNT HOOD SEARCH

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.


The three men were reported missing on Mount Hood Monday after failing to meet friends as scheduled.

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.

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.

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.

They announced today on CNN that Mr. Kim had actually hiked 16.5 miles, not the 10 originally first thought. No matter what anyone thinks, or who would have done it another way .. this man went out looking for aid for his family and died in the process. We don't need to dissect it .. what happened happened. I'm sure it's not what he was hoping for, for himself.

Okay, I'm not trying to be a bitch (I just can't help it), but I think we do need to "dissect" it. Alot of people on this forum travel and wheel alot. I know some of you don't wheel, but this is great information. Anytime someone does something wrong someone learns from it. I bet that none of us that have posted or read this thread will make the same mistake that Mr. Kim made. I have make lots of "mistakes", although I don't call them mistakes, in my life time I have learned from them. I am who I am because of the discisions that I have made. Good or bad. So I do think we need to dissect alot more sh!t and I'm glad we have so many different opinions on this forum because I learn stuff, sometimes stupid and nasty (thanks to DRTY) stuff but I do learn so great stuff too.

How the fck do they know?

They've announced he was less than a mile from the car when he wasn't, they announced that he was alive just hours before he was found, he wasn't. THEY have announced all sorts of stupid crap about this that has been factless. For all we really know, he walked 2 miles and fell down a crevasse.
