Description for Code 1244: The 1986 Mount Hood Tragedy
Review 'A remarkable story of immense arrogance and miscalculation, tempered by an equally immense response of caring and self-sacrifice. Conrad's writing style and attention to detail puts the reader in the field as a member of a rescue team, with the palpable sense of desperation and dread that we all felt as the hours dragged on and on. I truly hope that some good will come from this tragedy and if so, Code 1244 will have played a seminal role.' -Dave McClure. 1986 Co-Chief, PMR Operations 'The death of children is a difficult subject, and the author strikes a good, delicate balance between sensitivity and objectivity.' -Tom Stringfield, 1986 Team 10, PMR 'As a member of Portland Mountain Rescue, I saw this historic operation unfold. As I read Conrad's book, his meticulous research was immediately evident, as memories from the event came rushing back. For anyone interested in truly understanding what happened that awful week on the mountain, Code 1244 is the key to that understanding.' -Barry Wright. 1986 Co-Chief, PMR Operations 'The tensions Conrad describes, between the various mountain rescue organizations, were real-- the result of competing personalities and style, more than tactics and strategies. Over the decades, I think relationships between these groups have improved greatly and this has led to much better coordination and overall better rescue response for the region.' -Ed Hall, 1986 PMR/Hood River Crag Rats Read more About the Author Ric Conrad is a freelance writer whose work has been featured in Climbing, Portland Monthly, Oregon Coast Magazine, The Gorge Magazine, and 1859 Oregon's Magazine.
