leora Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 After reading the "pissing on the summit" post, I realized that I should have posted this, here, instead of the more general CC forum. . . Forgive me if you already read it on the other forum. I want to take a moment to comment on how impressed I am at the generousity of climbers in the mountains. In helping out the fallen (living) climber on Hood on Sunday, we had people throwing hundreds of dollars of gear around to help keep the injured and rescuers warm, and, when things seemed stable, trusting those of us staying behind to return that gear. Sleeping bags, down jackets, ice screws, the works. I'm so happy to be a part of such a community! leora Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leora Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 Ha! I don't know if I should publicly admit that I had to look up "tweeker". . . leora Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattp Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I don't know what happened on Hood but I would say that everyone, whether a climber or not, probably appreciates what Mtn. Rescue people do. As to those who may have offered gear, all of us realize the it might be WE that is being carted off the mountain next time.
