Footprints were going up? What else are they saying on the news conference? I missed some of it.
Sheriff Dept spokesman Gary Tiffany said that they may pull off the mountain to let the searchers get a good nights sleep, fed, etc. for another push for tomorrow.
katu presser is still going on.
They are not speculating much. Basically went into snow cave and found some stuff.
He did state that based on how the snow cave was built that they were experienced and he wouldn't be surprised if they left and built another snow cave somewhere.
The footprints heading up the summit to me would indicate they try to find a more secure location on the south side.
Maybe the other two that left created a better shelter on the south side and return to get Kelly James...that is pure speculation on my part...trying to remain optimistic.
