TR: A fall into King Ravine (Mount Adams, NH)

[fastfred]

I was forwarded the report from fish and game

here is what it said

skiier tops out on a soon to be massive line, as he is switching over from hiiking mode to ski mode he pulls his gat out and starts firing off rounds, gangsters in paradise is playing in the backround. Then it's wave your hands in the air! By the six round the skiier has a big boner and is totally stoked, the eighth round his scrawny arms lose control of the gun and a bullet hits the ice and snow below a 1/4 inch slab or ice and snow breaks free, the skiier then shoots a final 9th round and starts falling, loosing his gun

so OP went for a solo tour and took a mean spill, and hauled himself home without asking for help. and he happened to have a pistol with him? and the internet dorks are all up in arms about it?

[lynchdogger]

so OP went for a solo tour

Was he actually touring?

At that point it was roughly 4pm and I started to get ready for my descent. I put my ski boots on

[lynchdogger]

Pretty sure he was wolf hunting with skis on ...

Was he actually touring?

4 mile hike to 1200' vert. boot.

Wasn't meadow skipping.

[PNWbrit]

skipping.

More bouncing, tumbling and sliding than skipping.

Surely?

I don't go off of numbers or reported attacks on humans. I've seen firsthand what they can do while dicking around up there, and I'm not taking any chances with a 120lb dog(s). They are all over the place in QC, and if you know your geography or have spare time between licking that cheeto powder off of your sausage fingers and ranting to look it up, you'd know that is right next door.

Man, if I were you, I'd take a step back and collect myself. Glad you're ok, but you're on here slinging a lot of shit at the very people you posted this for. I get the feeling you put this here as some kind of testament to your awesomeness as some premed, gnar shredding prodidgy. My point is, concerning the wolves in Quebec and N.E.--you have no fuking clue what you're talking about. Ever heard of the St. Lawrence? Yea, it's a huge fuking river and there is an assload of ships on it. It is a suicide march for a wolf to cross. Have a little humility.

I think the most amazing part of this thread is that Rog had an insurmountable lead in the biggest douche on the internet contest and then out of left field Lil Tupac shows up and just blows his ass out of the water.

Surely la rawj would be in line for some kind of lifetime achievement award though?

It was a level 3 holster. Couldn't have done anything else to keep it on me, other than getting an absurd level 4.

I am sure it was a very good holster, and maybe even a good way to keep a loaded weapon ready to fire at a moment's notice. So, for example, if you were a law enforcement officer, or an on duty soldier, leaving this loaded weapon out on it's own in the woods might have been unavoidable.

But, I encourage you to think outside of the box. Maybe there is some other way to equip yourself for touring in NH that doesn't leave an an unattended deadly weapon in the woods. For example, you could leave your gun home. That's what a lot of gun owners do.

There are talks of televising the entire event... maybe even a re-enactment or show sponsored by the NH Old Man of the Mountain Caretaking Committee:

I really want to see the part when OP explains he was packing heat in case he came upon a wolf.

[NoPostholio]

He explained many pages back - even sourcing incidents where wolves atttacked teh humans. Just b/c it was pre Lewis and Clark does not mean you shouldn't be strapped when entering bc -

Duuuude. Pre-med? What were your SAT scores?

[raisingarizona13]

Is the OP this guy?

[Rise To The Top]

Duuuude. Pre-med? What were your SAT scores?

2k something. didn't really care for em. Fell asleep during one of the breaks and woke up with like 5 minutes left on one of the math sections. Kind of sucked. I did a bit better (in my mind) on the ACT, and ended up with a 33. Not that any of that shit matters in undergrad school (the same goes for some of the MCAT and med school... when the fuck am I going to have to know about circuits and magnetism?).



Wouldn't really call it a tour by most people's definition. No skins or touring skis. Went up in boots and crampons, then jumped in ski boots and alpine skis. Can't wait to actually get a touring system (moreso a new pair of boots, flex 160 lace up Langes suck to step into when its 20 degrees out).

That's very impressive, young Luk. Let us know what your MCAT scores are when you take the test.

It's very clear that indeed, like the creme de la creme, you will certainly Rise To The Top

Tell you what... seeing as I have connections to several med (and dental!) schools (in particular one with excellent proximity to world-class Extreme Skiing in a state with an indubitable 2nd Amendment commitment), I am certain you'd be proud and thrilled to have your exploits and commentary (not to mention your show of fortitude, both on Adams and here on this wolves den of an internet site) referenced to our admissions committee.

Whaddaya say?
