They found a snow cave and a Y carved in the snow. Coverage on CNN has been excellent and very interesting over the last half hour. Rescuers are on their way now.

It's tragic. Too sad and right in the middle of the holidays.
Hate to say it, really, but I have to agree with Nora. First thing I said to DH when news broke that they were missing was "I would NEVER let you climb a mountain in the winter!" (Not that tragedies don't happen any time of year, but with the conditions in December up on a mtn., too dangerous to even think about it.)

I think there is a mentality out there of "extreme sports" that is "out to conquer nature" rather than enter wild places with careful planning, respect and reverance. No one deserves to die alone and frozen, but do rescue squads deserve to risk their lives in December?? Just my opinion. Sad for everyone involved.
