this indeed was a tragedy…..how ever it was also a scam gone bad. these climbers ment to be caught in the storm for the sake of a good story. ive lived around mt.hood life long and never before have i seen a search mission of this magnitude, news coverage, an air force c-130 etc. Im not surprised about the book coming out, since thats what was planned in the first place. I also expect a made for t.v. movie to follow. I also doubt that the other two climbers will be found on the mountain since they arent even up there! we were all duped for the sake of fame and fortune! This is my opinion, but you mark my words-the truth will surface some day. WE WERE ALL DUPED by scam gone bad!!!!

Thanks for the link, Dianne! I was pleasantly surprised by the book…I was afraid it would be depressing. And there were a few tears. But overall it really encouraged me.

I’ve been wanting to read this – the story intrigued me, and then I heard his sister-in-law’s message at Synergy (online) in which she mentions this tragedy. (http://www.synergytoday.org/audio/Carolyn_Story.mp3)
