Hood fell and was injured on Sunday afternoon. AP photo Mount Hood is shown as the sun sets in this Jan. 29, 2007, file photo from Portland. The man was with his climbing partner when they both fell 300 feet near the Hogsback area on the south side of the mountain. The 39-year-old injured climber was reported to have a head injury and was in and out of consciousness. An off duty firefighter who was climbing nearby was able to assist the injured man while another climber called 911.

billbob Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 There sure were a lot of rescue people around T-Line yesterday afternoon, amazing how so many are willing to come to the aid of one guy. My son and a friend had just descended from the weekly walk-up to Crater Rock around 4pm, said he saw one guy yelling words unintelligible uphill, had no idea what events transpired until we all returned to the T-Line lot. Only saw 4 TV crews around, canvassing the crowd, looking for interviews... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
