HOOD RIVER, Oregon (CNN) -- The search for two missing climbers on Oregon's highest peak continues as the body of a third climber was finally recovered Monday afternoon, said the Hood River County sheriff.

Sheriff Joe Wampler spoke to reporters at 4 p.m. (7 p.m. ET) Monday, a day after crews found the body of Kelly James in a snow cave near the summit of the 11,239-foot Mount Hood.

James had suffered an "obvious arm" injury, said Wampler.

James had called his family from the snow cave on December 10, explaining that the two climbing companions with which he had begun the trek two days previously, had left him to get help.
