Oregon crews find 1 climber dead and another seriously injured after avalanches delay rescue mission
CNN
One person died and another was injured after suffering a steep fall on Oregon's Mount Hood, where deep snow and avalanche conditions hindered the two-day rescue effort, officials said.
The climbers fell about 200 feet in the Leuthold Couloir area of the mountain shortly after 5 p.m. Sunday, and were seriously injured, the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office said Monday in a news release.
"One of the injured climbers was able to call 911 by cell phone, and also used a Garmin inReach device to notify an emergency contact," Deputy John Wildhaber, a spokesperson for the sheriff's office, said in the release.
