vated and the feeling is that
we can beat everyone we
have left on our schedule.”
Highlighting Tuesday’s ef-
fort for the Eagles was junior
guard Skyler Hunter, who hit
six three-pointers on his way
to a season-high 20 points.
Scottie Ziegner added 15
points and five boards and
Dallas Buckley had 12 points
and eight boards to round
out the team’s top three scor-
ers on the night. Despite the
lopsided finish, the game
was relatively close for all of
the first half (tied 25-25 at
halftime) and par t way
through the third quarter be-
fore HRV’s relentless pres-
sure wore down on the River-
hawks.
“When I hit that first three
on the corner I knew it was
going to be a good game,”
Hunter said. “I got the confi-

dence early and knew I was
going to keep shooting the
ball. I’ve been trying to shoot
more threes lately; I’ve been
working on them a lot.”
HRV jumped out to an
early lead in the first half
but The Dalles employed a
two-three zone defense to
keep the Eagles from run-
ning away with the score.
After halftime the ball
bounced the way of the Ea-
gles, and by the end of the
third the home team had a

tant named J. Pearce
Beissinger who runs an out-
fit called Vertical Medicine
Resources, assessed the in-
juries of the fallen climbers
and actually called in a pre-
scription for pain meds from
the mountain.
A dozen or so volunteer
climbers rushed over to help,
of fering blankets, heat
packs, food and water and
using their backpacks to cre-
ate a human shield around
the Carlsons, to fend off
falling ice.
Paramedics from Ameri-
can Medical Response were
on their way to help, but
Broms decided to call in for
air support to fly the injured
climbers to safety as quickly
as possible. “We weren’t rely-
ing on a helicopter,” he says,
“but if it is available it is def-
initely the fastest way to get
some seriously injured peo-
ple off the mountain.”
Just after they called in for
a helicopter, about an hour
after the Carlsons fell, anoth-
er climber fell.
This climber, 29-year-old
Karthik Jambunathan of
Hillsboro, tumbled down and
fell into a fumarole — essen-
tially a hole in the ice and
snow where the volcano
vents sulphur and steam.
“He wasn’t injured but he
was shaken up,” says Broms.
“He took a pretty good
bounce. He hit the downhill
side of the fumarole, the lip,
and he bounced up maybe
two or three feet and went
right down into the hole. I
mean, it was pretty scary. If
you had been there, you
probably would have
thought, ‘Jeez, that guy’s
dead.’”
Fortunately, Jambunathan
was okay. But he was stuck.
“He was wedged in,” says
Broms. “He probably would
not have been able to get out
of that situation had we not
been there, because he was
sandwiched between the
snow and the rock, down
about 15 feet inside this hole.”
Again, nearby climbers re-
sponded quickly. Broms set
an anchor, got Beissinger on
a rope, and lowered him
down into the hole. With
time and effort they were
able to help out Jam-
bunathan, who was unin-
jured but very shaken up. A
rescue volunteer helped him
down to the top of Timber-
line’s Palmer Lift, and he
caught a ride down to Tim-
berline Lodge in a snowcat.
Meanwhile, the Carlsons
were still waiting for the
Oregon National Guard heli-
copter — and it ended up
being a long wait. The heli-
copter arrived at around 4
p.m., landing in the firm
snow near the Devil’s
Kitchen. Rescue personnel
loaded the injured climbers
and successfully transported
them down to Le g acy
Emanuel Medical Center in
Portland as darkness was de-
scending on the mountain.
Broms has been climbing
Mount Hood for 20 years and
volunteering with PMR for
14 years. He says he worries
that the ever-increasing pop-
ularity of Mount Hood could
be luring up climbers who
may not have the skills, fit-
ness and training for a safe
climb.
“We are seeing more and
more inexperienced people
climbing,” he says. “You can
look around at the other
people climbing and get a
sense of their ability level
— and some of these people
just don’t look that experi-
enced from what I’m seeing.
ten-point lead that they held
for the remainder. Ziegner
heated up after the break,
scoring 12 of his 15 in the
second half.
“Playing a g ainst T he
Dalles on our home court get
us pretty excited, and also a
little nervous,” Ziegner said.
“In the first half I’d say we
played a little timid, but in
the second half we really
brought it to them. Where
we’re at right now feels real-
ly good. Our confidence level
is up and we’re looking for-
ward to every day that we get
to play basketball.”
Hunter echoed Ziegner’s
comments on the team’s
morale this season.
“It’s ridiculous,” he said.
“Compared to last year, not
winning a game, and then
coming out and winning
nine games this year; it’s
hard to describe how much
better this feels. We’re hav-
ing fun, we’re playing bas-
ketball and we’re loving it.”
The Eagles hosted Pendle-
ton Friday night (7 p.m., re-
sults not available as of
press time) and have a re-
match with Hermiston at
I saw a couple of people that
day just kind of scooching
along on their butts, which
is a big no-no. That’s like
down-climbing a ladder fac-
ing out. You really don’t do
that.”
Broms and other search-
and-rescue experts empha-
size that no one should set
out to climb Mount Hood
with the assumption that
rescue teams and a heli-
copter will be ready and
waiting to lift them to safety
if they fall or get stuck.
Only people with proper
gear, training and fitness
should attempt to climb to
11,249 feet on Mount Hood —
no matter how mellow the
weather and snow condi-
tions may seem.

“We’re going to come right
at them from the very begin-
ning,” Hunter said of the
Hermiston matchup. “No
going out and starting slow;
we need to get after them
right away and really go for
it. Them knowing that we’re
going to be a fast pace of-
fence means we have to have
good ball movement. We
need to swing the ball until
we get the open shots, take
the open shots and make
them and then play hard de-
fense on the other end.”
