Crag Rats

In 1923, a group of Hood River Valley residents, who frequently climbed together, were called out to search for a lost boy, their first search and rescue mission. In 1926, the climbers were again called upon to search for another lost boy on Mt Hood, joining the Forest Service, US Army, and mountaineering groups from Portland. After several days, these Hood River climbers found the boy and returned him safely to his family, whereupon reporters asked the men the name of their group.
