Here we go-another case of people deciding to climb a mountain in OREGON, in DECEMBER and they turn up either dead or lost and the local sherrifs department has to spend endless money, man hours and resources to try to search for them.
I have no problem with people wanting to climb mountains, explore the wilderness, try to hike through the desert but at what point do we have to spend zillions of dollars looking for these idiot's that get lost?
Isn't it sort of just assumed that activities like that are a "do at your own risk and nobody is coming to bail you out?"
Like those morons that read too much Jules Verne and try to circumnavigate the globe in a hot air ballon and then have to get rescued by the Coat Guard or Air Force because they get 1/4 of the way and realize they didn't plan enough.
I hate stories like this and think that these sort of activities should just be done at your own risk with no chance of help. Suck it up, kid. Be a man. You want to be a billy badass and climb mountains in the winter, do it like a real pro knowing that nobody is going to come bail your ass out.
