You know not all people take the car out of necessity, lots go driving just for fun. (And mostly those are the ones speeding) Besides cars mostly get other people killed, while mountaineers mainly get themselves in trouble.usmarine2007 wrote:
One slight difference. A car gets people to work and things like that. Pretty much a necessity. Climbing a mountain.....not a necessity.
Anyways this is beside the point, the point is that it is not because you take a risk in life you are not entitled to rescue or medical car.
I am not familiar with the weather conditions in Mt.Hood (any American mountain actually), but in the alps wintertime is equally stable (if not more) than summertime. The glaciers are more trustworthy and difficult passes can be traversed much more easily when there is a few meters snow on top of the rock. The added danger is the risk of avalanches, which means you have to be more on top of the weather (snow) conditions of the weeks before your attempt. And of course you take your rescue beacon along with you to increase the chance of survival when the worst has happened, but you rather would not want to end up under a pile of snow.Kmarion wrote:

So what are the winter conditions of Mt. Hood?

It's the winter storms that come in thats the problem that time of year. It was only a couple weeks ago the Pacific northwest had probably one of the worst storms they had seen in a long time. Parts of Washington were actually getting 100 +mph winds. I was talking to a clan mate when it was happening that night. I thought he was over reacting when he was talking about the winds so I called him a puss given the fact I deal with hurricanes .=Robin-Hood= wrote:
