Mount Hood
Watching the report from Mount Hood, in regard to the lost climbers. The guy from the 304th rescue squadron is giving the information, and there is a white '06 H3 over his right shoulder. Anyone here own that H3?????
Hope they find 'em. Guess they might be better equipped than originally thought, per a message they left, that was just found, read by the spokesman for the 304th.

Re: Mount Hood
We really could use a good outcome before the holidays, that dude dying in the mountians last week was sad.

Re: Mount Hood
They found the snow cave, but no one inside... I think they're dead. Sasquatch probably dispatched them during the huge storm.

Re: Mount Hood
Experienced idiots. HAHAHA!!!! They deserve to die. True Darwin candidates.
Funny how cold people were to the INEXPERIENCED family getting trapped and ultimately the husband dying trying to save his family. They stuck it out alot longer with less.
And here we have 3 EXPERIENCED outdoorsmen getting OWN3D by their own egos. Boo Hoo! I hope they find them alive!
I guess being prepared doesn't really matter does it? I wonder if some here can analyse the shit out of this one too? Enlighten us on how the boneheads could have done a better job at not getting killed.

Re: Mount Hood
zoomed in. Sorry they aren't better pics, I was holding the camera up to the scope. The top of the Mtn is 11270 feet or so. These guys flew up to the tippy top. Cool. Too bad about the one guy.

Yes, it's off the bedroom deck. I was looking thru the scope talking on the phone with Bebe and couldn't see anything. Went back a few minutes later and there was a Chinook on top. I wish the pics were better.
This one has the sun glinting off the helo. You could see it clearly with just the scope. (I need to find a camera adaptor ring so I can mount it on the scope.) I could see the Upper Chair lift on the glacier too. It was a very clear day finally.

Well for starters they could have waited to do the climb when weather is more stable (June/July) . I do not know the weather patterns for the west coast but I know better to try and climb Mt Washington, NH in December and that is only 6000 ft. The weather changes fast up there so I can only imagine how it behaves there at Mt Hood.
I agree these three are good candidates for the Darwin. If they wanted to become popsicles they might as well have gone skinny dipping in Alaska with the penguins.

Agreed. But penguins live in the Antarctic, Dude. Not Alaska.
Okay, Dennis! These guys are definitely dumber than Mr. Kim.
