It all depends on the experience of the climbers. I have some friends who make "mid winter" summit attempts, some are strictly summer guys. Doing a peak in winter just adds a whole other degree of difficulty and gives bragging rights. Kind of like saying you did a century ride on a single speed. Personally... I'm not a fan. Even some of the "easy" peaks (Timp, Kings, Deseret, Lone Peak, etc...) become extremely technical in the winter. |

Hope is fading into oblivion for the two lost climbers. They found a camera (on James?) and the CNN article implies they didn't look good. They still maintain a theory that they could be alive somewhere underneath all that snow.
The cut rope they found isn't promising either. It all sucks. |

We can all say that we've climbed every 14K mountain in Utah as well.
