Portland Mountain Rescue Continued from page 6 h e a r ~ from more than o n ~ I experienced volunteer that it was the most "devastating" operation they'd been on. Exhaustion was another factor. " I had six hours of sleep in 66 hours." noted McClure. "Our problem was that there were too few of us for the number of hours." By the third day, after two survivors had walked out and three victims had been found in the snow, "we were all convinced that, while we would have to continue Ihe search for poliliGl1 reasons ... that this was no longer J search and rescue. It was a question of body recovery." Bul mountain rescuers are trained to "wait 'IiI total desperation and Ihen give it one more day," according to McClure. The next day, the snow cave was found and fwo students were removed alive. But il was small consolation to at least one rescuer. "I really feel lhat anything other than 100 percent (survival) js a failure," said McClure. " I don't take it as a personal failure, because J don't Ihink we could have done anything differently." Reluctant to comment on the approprialeness of the school climb, except to say that mountain climbing shouldn't be considered "a rile of passage," McClure did stress, "What happened up there was not an act of God. There were real decisions that were made, decisions that are not entirely black and white. lei's face it. We've all made (bad) decisions on climbing trips, but events were kind to us and we got away with those decisions." PMR has been the focus of criticism for negotiating with a film company that wants to Create a television "docudrama" about the event. "look, you have to remember this: the movie's going to be made with or without PMR's help," said McClure. "I would personally like to see it portrayed as accurately as possible. And whalever we do will have the parents' blessing." "We'd like to see a docudrama, with heavy emphasis on the docu-," said Rich. Both agree that there is a SIOry to be told about safety in the mountains. And public education is one of PMR's fundions. To that end, the group publishes flyers on such topics as climbing technique, protocol and health concerns for distribution in outdoor stores_ BUI even wilh the ~ s s j b l e help of television there will be climbers who don'l share McClure and Rich's respect for the elements. "PMR has been involved in three rescues of a single individual," shrugged McClure. "And alllhree times this individual did something really stupid. The last time this happened, he was given a stern lecture ... I've got other ways to spend my Sundays." Rich: "Although frankly, I dan'! mind. Any legitimate excuse to gel on Ihe mountain." McClure: "I agree, but if I'm out there, I would prefer to be doing what I want to do." like walching "rock concerts." PSU Perspective, Summer 7986 / ~ 1S
