[QUOTE="Dave, post: 311815, member: 498"] First I agree with Bobg. To try to climb the toughest route up Hood when the weather forecast has storms lined up one after another in the north Pacific headed this way is insanity. But after that most of the people involved in the search were volunteers. Heck, these climber probably volunteered to help others in the past. The more experienced hard core climbers do that. There are lots of these rescues that happen that you never hear about it is just that the press decided to pick up on this case. The other guy who died but they found his family was a case of a city boy in some very remote back country. He used a computer to find a direct route that didn't tell him not to go there this time of year. Then he made some fatal mistakes because he lacked the experience to navigate this type of country. It is a sad case but there are parts of the world which aren't forgiving to the foolish. Dave [/QUOTE]
