Just heard an update that they were going to use metal detectors and avalanche probes to try and locate the remaining two climbers.

Dogs would make more sense (scents seekers).

I think the Sheriff said that the metal detector was like a long pipe that was pulled above the snow, 10'or 20' long (must be PVC). That would cover a lot of ground and I'm sure it must be a deep seeking type made for just that purpose. They have a good idea of what happend to them. They may have fallen into the gully they've been talking about.

They called it quits today. They surmised that they may have gotten blown down the "Gullies"

Supposed to be experienced climbers but weren't equiupped for cold weather, makes you wonder? Heard they may close peaks to climbing in the winter because of this. Too bad for their families, Monty.

It's cold on that mountain even during summer! Yeah, the snowboard lads and lassies may be up there in shorts and t-shirts. Not with my slow old metabolism. And it ain't like an EPIRB is priced out of reach! Hubris!
