as we suspected, and our hopes are dashed.
a news report at 6pm eastern time the news reproted finding a couple cave holes in the area of the cell phone ping. and by the end of the braudcast 5 minuts to 7 the news said they found equipment in one cave but did not know if it belonged to this set of climbers.
in the other cave they found the body of the person sending the last cellphone ping.
this confirmed that the other two did seperate,
this leads me to beleive that tho these three men may have been skilled climbers, they lacked the basic skills of servival. this drasticaly diminshes the chances of finding the other two alive.
If this snow cave is an actual cave in the mountain;
I think a memorial would be in order for the person left behind. A servival box perminently placed in the cave with info about the person who pass here along with all the nessisary equipment to survive for a couple weeks. a transmiter that automaticaly sends out a becon once the protective case is opened. along with instructions on what to do incase they are stranded.
I doubt if they have st bernards in oregon for search and rescue. mostly because of low tec and cost.
