Climb on Mt. Hood was Preparation for Everest
December 15, 2006
Brian Hall, of Dallas, one of three lost climbers on Mt. Hood, was using this climb as a stepping stone to Mt. Everest. It is not known whether the other two climbers lost with him were training for the same purpose.
Hall does 4 or 5 climbs a year and has spent numerous months planning on the Mt. Hood ascent. Hall is a physical trainer in the Dallas area and had played for the Dallas Professional Soccer team before it was dissolved.
