I would say very low.
Mt Hood is treacherous.
I already predicted that they would not find any alive several days ago.
But we can always hope for the best.
my heart goes out to the families.

The person above who said "yes, because they are experienced and they were well stocked" ... am I mistaken or wasn't this the same group of climbers that ascended the mountain with minimal supplies because they'd only expected to be up the mountain a short while? Just a ponderance...
I always believe in the saying "it ain't over til the fat lady sings". Until they find two bodies, I think we should never give up hope that they're still alive. After all, that guy Robert Knapp was up there for 17 days. Granted, he was younger and it was a different sort of situation, but still, anything is possible. These guys, while they may not have had ALL the necessary equipment, were smart climbers and experienced mountaineers, so it is possible that they might still be alive...

I thought all of them would be found alive yesterday, with the footprints that were found and all.
I am quite disturbed that with all the activity on the mountain, the helicopters' noises, that the 2 remaining men didn't signal for help. Surely they would have been spotted yesterday if they were alive. I sincerely hope they find the other two alive. This is a really tragic story to hear this time of year and the families really must be suffering.

Very remote chance they will be found alive. 'Copters have been flying over the area and the climbers would hear them if they were alive and would signal.

My people would like to say very low on the ground that the one found was already died. But, I believe in the power of prayer and the power of positive thinking. My sincere prayer would be that they would be found alive and safe may be trying to find their way out or something.
