Searching for Missing Hikers

[savebury]

I live in Oregon and the first few times this happened I actually cried for the families and the lost people. Now I just wonder what it is about december that makes people want to go die on mt hood. It seems to happen almost every year! I am personally sick of hearing about it. If people want to go die on mt hood they should just leave the bodies up there as a warning to future hikers because I am completely out of sympathy for these people.

Savebury,

You're right on! Stupidity reigns. Yet these three thought they could take their afternoon hike and not face any consequences. If they were as experienced as they were purported to be, they would have known a) a storm was coming and b) conditions can change on a dime at altitude. They did this to themselves. And their narcissism for a thrill placed others in harms way needlessly. While I'm sorry they lost their lives for using poor judgment, they have no one to blame but themselves.

Why dont they just climb it in the summer its clearly dangerous in the winter that is when people die climbing it.
