I fell on Mt Hood once.
Of course, I had just come out of the bar at the Timberline Lodge
To: BenLurkin
That’s why I only climb Mt Hood virtually. Living vicariously through other the idiocy of other people.
It hurts less and is much warmer that way.

Both climbers suffered injuries in the fall. The dead guy's injuries may take a bit longer to heal.

Climbing in such weather conditions ought to be cause for abandonment on the mountain if something goes wrong. Sorry, but I lost friends who died getting two idiots off of Mount Washington in New Hampshire in the '80s.

Seriously...if ever there was an “at your own risk” warning, it belongs here.

These were adults who presumably knew the risks and voluntarily took them. People do these things for a wide variety of psychological reasons. Its only a tragedy when children are involved or rescuers get killed trying to save them or recover corpses.
To: BenLurkin
If people would get jobs, they wouldn’t be out doing stupid crap like climbing big, tall rocks. All my life I’ve wondered what was wrong with those people.

The two climbers were women, not sure why KOIN doesn’t say that.

Bad time of year to be doing that. But, some folks see that as the reason to go for it: The Challenge.

It does seem really really stupid to go mountain climbing in the winter.

I am still amazed to see how quickly the weather can change on Mount Washington and how quickly things can go wrong for the unprepared.
It doesn’t sound like your friend was amongst this group. I’m sorry that you lost someone tragically there.

“What idiot climbs in March?”
With global warming, how were they to know the weather would be bad? I just wish the learned weather experts could forecast 48 hours ahead as well as they can 100 years ahead.
