" Maj. Allan Renwick with 152nd air lift wing circles Mount Hood in a C-130 airplane while helping to search for missing climbers, Saturday, Dec. 16, 2006, near Hood River, Ore.
Sean Collinson of the Clackamas County sheriff's office said a C-130 aircraft equipped with thermal imaging would continue flying around the 11,239-foot mountain during the night, looking to pick up body heat from the missing climbers, who left Dec. 7 on what was to be a two-day trip. "

With planes flying round about above them and choppers flying below, you'd think they would hear it and show themselves.
I am afraid it isnt going to be good news when they find them.
I hope I am wrong.

. Don't forget, just because it's winter, doesn't mean that it's going to turn out ugly. They were on Mt. Mckinley for more than 42 days back in the 60's! For those interested, there is a book "Minus 148" by Art Davidson, first winter ascent of Mt. Mckinley. Outstanding book, and have them on my shelf. One of the climbers was my family doctor.
