Just heard this. Reports state that two men, one an experienced climber, are missing at Big Four. They were expected back last night and never showed.
Searchers think that they are at 5600' level on the ridge between Big Four and Hall. Searchers are making slow headway and are experiencing frequent avalanches.
Follow up report from King5. You have to register, but picture shows a fairly good view.

A cellphone might have helped on this one. I have connected with Verizon from the summit of Big Four, ~6100'. Then no one has to worry or help could be on the way.
