A rescue crew has doubled the number of people searching for father-and-son hikers who have been missing in the frigid, snowy Rocky Mountains for nearly a week.
"We are hoping against hope that we find them alive," said Bill Barwick, a spokesman for the non-profit Alpine Rescue Team, which has 50 volunteers scouring the area around Echo Lake at the foot of Mount Evans in Colorado.
Damian McManus and his 19-year-old son, Evan, live in Minnesota and were last heard from Wednesday when they said they were going to "scale a peak," Barwick said.

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

That there are.Photo-fish wrote: They might have tried following the contour of Mt Evans road and fallen into a very deep drift or over an edge. I was in that area this past weekend. Lots of bad areas to hike in winter if you aren't aware.

Why would you search Longs Peak if their car is in the Echo Lake parking lot?
Those guys did so many things wrong, I'm not surprised the rescuers didn't know which way they went and couldn't find them. The Colorado mountains claim out-of-state tourists routinely.
