sampdx Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) "...they fell near Hogsback, a popular route on the south side of the mountain…" Sigh. From this article on KGW's website: http://www.kgw.com/story/news/2015/01/31/three-climbers-fall-on-mount-hood/22653161/ Glad the two are ok…some friends were on the mountain and helped with the rescue. I'd like to know how one falls from the Hogsback…I'm thinking they probably fell coming down the Old Chute or something.

christophbenells Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 i've seen a 18 year old or so kid in yukon charlie snowshoes and ll bean boots (no trekking poles) fall a few hundred feet from the hogsback, almost went into the fumarole. The only thing that saved him from broked legs/anles was that he had no crampons...ironic huh? when i showed him my ice ax, dynafit boots and automatic crampons he was unimpressed.
