With a Mt Everest summit bid and a six time Mt Hood veteran under my belt, I consider the title of this piece "Where People Fall and Die on Mt Hood" to be insensitive to the families of those lost , and disrespectful to the fallen who gave the ultimate sacrifice in pursuing something they loved.  

While ascending Everest, I passed through "Rainbow Valley". It's named is based on the appearance of the numerous deceased climbers who remain clearly visible, appearing much like they did on the day they lost their life, all wearing brightly colored outer wear. These totems of the fallen will remain ever vigilant exclaiming their message as clearly as though they had screamed it into your ear. The sight of this above ground cemetery will remain with me for the remainders of my days.

Finally and in all seriousness, I would appreciate WW clarifying the intent of the piece.
