Over 100 climbers have died on Mount Hood since the 1970's, the latest last December.
Last Sunday three climbers fell 500ft, Global Positioning System gear, beacons and a dog called, Velvet helped in their survival and quick rescue by Portland Mountain Rescue team.
Could similar legislation or recommendations be introduced in the Scottish mountains in winter especially in the light of the recent tragic deaths in the Cairngorms?

Seriously, this is all over the telly in the states. The rescue team insists that but for that puppy lying across them they might not have survived.
Looked happy as a clam. lol
One member (?) slid 500 feet and is hospitalized with a "non life threatening head injury".
What's that? A scratch?

Is it just me?
Am I the only one here that loves them so much that I'd not put them in danger of
rock fall
crevases
hypothermia
etc etc
puppys are a real pain to fit for crampons too.
Or did I simply misread you?
