Mt. Hood continues to attract climbers despite the deaths of nine people when a spring blizzard hit Oregon’s tallest peak two weeks ago. Mountain guides and forestry officials say they have seen no cancellations by climbing parties and that the May-June climbing season on the 11,235-foot mountain east of Portland remains in full swing. Meanwhile, the two 16-year-old students from Oregon Episcopal School who survived three days and nights in a snow cave continue to recover.
