The Hood River County Sheriff’s Office has identified the fallen climber on Mt. Hood as 57 year old Robert J Cormier, a catholic priest from Jersey City, New Jersey.  Sheriff’s spokesman Pete Hughes says Cormier and two other men left Timberline Lodge at about 1:45 Tuesday morning to climb Mt. Hood.  Near the summit one of the men had to turn back due to a leg cramp…but Cormier continued up the mountain.  Upon reaching the summit of the mountain Cormier looked north and was seen falling through an ice cornice to the north side of the mountain.  A Sheriff’s Office search plane saw Cormier’s body at the 10,500 foot level of the mountain, and an Oregon Army National Guard  Blackhawk helicopter flew closer to Cormier and found no sign of life, with the crew believing he could not have survived the severe injuries they witnessed.  Hughes says search crews will not attempt a recovery of Cormier this week due to high temperatures and extreme avalanche danger in the area where Cormier’s body is, and will have to wait until the weather gives them an opportunity to recover his body.
