scottgg Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 My brother and two friends attempted Mt Hood via the Sandy Headwall yesterday. They left early yesterday morning and should have been back yesterday evening/this morning. Anyone see them up there? Two guys and one girl, all in their mid twenties. Thanks!
ivan Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 it's still early so give them some time - if you havne't heard from them by tonight, contacting the authorities would be warranted - did they camp at illum gap or were they equipped for only a day climb?
scottgg Posted December 12, 2009 Author Posted December 12, 2009 Thanks Ivan... They were planning on a day climb. There are actually a few SR teams on the mountain right now searching for them.
Joe_Poulton Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 May they be found sooner then later and in good condition. I think I saw them leave the parking lot that morning...but I turned back early on my trip due to exhaustion from lack a sleep and a previous attempt with my wife the day before.
