If you educate yourself about Mt. Hood, and climbing it, you will learn that when the snow melts, or is melting is the most dangerous time. There are rock slides, and showers of ice pellets and rocks. I am not a climber, but have been reading about it. The snow bridges over the crevices also melt.....

I do know Mt. Hood is dangerous enough at this time of year so that three supposed experienced mountain climbers have been lost for more than a week in weather blizzard conditions at times with winds, in some cases, exceeding 90+ mph and consequently risk the lives of many people to save them. The climbers are the one's in need of an education and unfortunately they are getting one.
