Blake Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Right now (8:10 PM) A Dateline type show is having a big segment on Mt. Hood and a climbing accident from a few years ago. It might be rerun later too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake Posted May 24, 2004 Author Share Posted May 24, 2004 I thought it might have Iain or cluck in there, if they were part of the rescue team then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluck Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Nah, that was before my time. I'm new to this whole rescue shizzle. The show was sort of cool to watch. Of course, it was overly sensationalized and melodramatic, but that's what you expect from the media. It even had a nifty computer-generated re-enactment of the fall. Scary.

bunglehead Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 watching it. melodrama. "COLD MOUNTAIN" Agreed. Waaay over-dramatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbw1966 Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Interestingly, the guy they were interviewing who was the "experienced leader" was pretty soft-spoken about how his team caused the accident by flossing the folks that died down the hogsback.

wormfighter6 Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Did I miss it or did they never show how the fall started? I realize their are limits to self arrest but did the group that started the whole thing not know how to SA, was there a coat of ice, anybody know the answer. From the look of the pictures, the slope, and that time of year SA shold not have been a problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
