One lost climber found dead
Searchers have found the body of one of the lost climbers, Hood River County Sheriff's officials confirmed.
Officials do not know the identity of the dead climber, said Pete Hughes, a deputy sheriff.
The body was believed to have been found on the north side of the mountain, according to Gerry Tiffany, a sergeant with the office.
Searchers earlier had found a snow cave where they believe Kelly James had holed up. His two climbing companions had left him after he was injured to seek help.
The announced discovery of the body came as searchers were preparing to wrap up for the day at 4 p.m.
