Mount Hood Climbers

I am sorry to hear they called off the searches. I am not sorry that they are not going to put anyone elses life in danger though. Being on the mountain in unsafe conditions has already cost to many lives. I hope by some miracle these hikers end up alive. The odds are not with them, but there is always a chance. I am not a mountain climber, but I can see what would be appealing. I think in this case they took percautions, were experienced, but pushed the limits. Maybe there should be months that the mountain is off limits. I think that common sense tells most of us this, but the very experienced may think that the same does not apply. I hope everyone enjoys thier hobby. If anyting good can come out of this, I hope that future climbers are more careful, and don't take the chance when the weather could change.
