OREGON - Search for two Mount Hood climbers yields
stash of gear
PORTLAND (AP) — Searchers looking for the bodies of two Mount Hood climbers found a stash of equipment Saturday just above where the climbers started their ascent to the summit, a search coordinator said.
In December, searchers said they believed the climbers had ‘‘gone light,’’ leaving behind equipment so they could climb faster.
Saturday morning, searchers found a pack, maps, a sleeping bag and other gear, said Russell Gubele, who was coordinating communications for a dozen teams searching around the 6,500-foot level.
Three climbers died after they made it to the summit of Mount Hood at 11,239 feet. See story Page A8.
