Avalanche fears halt ground search for two missing Oregon climbers
(NECN: Government Camp, Ore.) - Rescuers on Mount Hood who have recovered the body of one climber say "time is critical" in the hunt for his two companions, but all but ruled out a ground search for them Monday because the risks of an avalanche on Oregon's tallest peak were too great.
The search crews are hoping for a break in the foul weather by midday Monday to see if they can mount another aerial search.
