There are many, many people who don't grasp the danger in a situation until it's too late.
Right. ANd maybe if they knew their family was gonna get a bill for rescuing them they'd stop and say, "Yo dawg (all rich white guys talk like this), maybe we outta do this in June instead of December? Maybe we outta do this when the weather is in the 60s instead of near zero."

Have I driven over 80 MPH? Yes, til I got caught speeding and got a BILL for $181. Guess what? Suddenly didnt find it worth it anymore.

Well... THAT was your moment of clarity.

You were very lucky.

Thanks for helping my point.

Columbo....driving 15 mph over the speed limit and attempting to climb a mountain aren't even close on the danger scale.

You're right though...people often don't grasp the dangerousness of a situation until its too late. These guys travelled from Texas.....they had ample time to think about what they were getting themselves into, they had to know December on Mt.Hood would be extremely dangerous....but this was the time they chose. I'm willing to bet they definitely understood how dangerous it would be, and that was the attraction.
