HOOD RIVER, Ore. (AP) -- Rescuers looking for three missing climbers on Mount Hood found a body Sunday in the area where one of the climbers made a distress call last week, authorities said.
The dead climber had not yet been identified
------------------------------------------
This is sad and a tragedy-- and I'd bet the other two are found dead too---But this is one of my pet peeves- these "recreationists" that pull stupid stunts for one reason or another- or disregard the weather and conditions, and put the true heroes ( the rescuers )in so much danger- and many times cost government agencies huge amounts of money to make efforts to save them...
Its getting to be so much more prevalent- and government/search and rescue agencies are then expected to put out all and risk all to rescue them...Seeing it with hunters, ice fishermen, climbers, boaters not to add in all the nutty para sail and hanggliding folks....
I hope Oregon has it in their laws where the agencies involved can charge the lost persons (if found alive) or their estates for all costs of what now has to be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars in costs.....
