Hood River County Sheriff Joe Wampler says the search will concentrate on the 8,000-9,000-foot level of the north side below the difficult area where the two apparently fell.

A July search found some of their gear. Wampler says the September 8th and 9th search coincides with minimum snowpacks.
He says if Brian Hall of Dallas, Texas, and Jerry "Nikko" Cooke of New York City fell into a crevasse they may never be found. Kelly James, also of Dallas, was found dead in a snow cave.
Wampler says family and friends of the two make frequent visits to the mountain.
