Rescuers Reach Mt. Hood Climbers After Fall

Rescuers reached two climbers from the south side of Mt. Hood over the weekend, one of whom was injured after a fall into White River Glacier.  The Hood River County Sheriff’s Office says it was joined by the Crag Rats, Portland Mountain Rescue, and Timberline Lodge in the rescue.  The Sheriff’s Office notes climbing conditions are challenging with variable snow conditions and warm temperatures.  Go with a guide, use proper equipment, don’t glissade wearing crampons, take adequate clothing, and don’t be afraid to turn back when conditions are difficult.
