Mt. Hood Rescue


As everyone remembers the month of December was a deadly one for three climbers who found themselves trapped on top of Mount Hood in Oregon. Hood is Oregon's highest mountain peek and over the years has seen 35 people parish on its slopes. According to foxnews.com "Three climbers who fell from a ledge on snowy Mount Hood got into their sleeping bags and huddled with a dog for warmth early Monday to await rescue as bad weather raged around them, officials said." The rescuers had quite a time on their hands as snow blew around them at seventy miles an hour. However, it is reported that the rescuers have not yet seen the three climbers but have been in constant cell phone contact with them.
