I've heard conflicting reports on the climbers....first I hear that they were going to climb the mountain fast so didn't take a lot of equipment with them. Then I heard that they were adequately prepared for the climb and had everything they needed. Does anyone on here have any clue or if you have climbed mount hood before, what do you think they might have had with them at the time they went climbing, and how long does it normally take to climb the mountain?? Thanks!

climbing has a great risk of danger in it`s nature but things can go wrong when someone mixes up two things.alpine style climbing means that you carry ONLY things that you really need. but this means that you have to carry things that you need. so you CAN NOT sacrifice safety for weight.
but a tough storm doesn`t care about the equipment or experience so sometimes events like this happen. i just can say that i wish they had an easy death. .............i hope they rest in peace

usually when climbers pack light on the gear, it means they are trying to accent quickly. most climbers who have this minimalist philosophy suffer when mother nature has PMS

There is speculation that they fell into a crevasse. They only went up with limited equipment - so I guarantee you that after all this time, with no food, and limited supplies - they are DEAD!

well...you won't ever climb mount hood...and they are dead (rest their souls) so why worry?
