BREAKING NEWS: Searchers find signs of climbers
A helicopter surveying the Mount Hood summit this morning has captured images of what appears to be a snow cave, scattered equipment and what looks like frozen tracks in the snow.
Search organizers plan to airlift pararescuers to the summit by helicopter so they can make their way to the area by foot.

Great News!
Anything further?
People just shouldn't go hiking up tall mountains in snowy weather. But I guess the riskiness is part of what motivates these adventurers.
Hope they are found safe.
