I'm new to mtns too, Kit and I think that's why I've lurked here too...even if it's a long shot, I needed to hear from real climbers that their skills and supplies can still culminate in a miracle. I'm holding out hope for Brian & Nikko, and praying for their families...what a long ordeal for them all.

Well aware..that would be why I said I'm waiting for a form of official confirmation before believing it and why I asked you good people since you're following this closely too.

I hope so...I'm waiting on legit news sources for info of course, but it was unbelievably un-nerving to read nonetheless.

Hi all- I'm new here...have been following this and found you guys after a referral from the media. Was just reading the Wikipedia entry on Mt Hood and it says this: "On December 18, 2006, all three climbers that were missing are now confirmed dead. Yesterday from the above date, they found Kelly James' body. The next day the others were dead after falling down the slope. This is very tragic and everyone is extremely sorry for these three families". The last i heard, the sherriff had announced that they *may* have fallen. Can anyone confirm this (None of the news sources are showing anything like this), or is Wikipedia off it's rocker?
