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

[axebiker]

So you have never meet a LEO before?

So now you're a LEO?

There's an old adage, young grommet. It goes something like this: "When you find yourself in a hole, sometimes it's best to JUST STOP DIGGING."

Learn it.

[wildmanwillie]

Cool.

But now I'm interested in this "perfect avalanche snow." How does that work on the East Coast?

it's like quicksand

Don't listen to axebiker, keep digging. We could get weeks out of this.

I had to join TGR just so I could post in this thread, pure gold.

I noticed the Union Ledger mentioned you're taking time off from school. So the way I see it you either are flunking out, near flunking and lost all your aid and mommy and daddy don't want to pony up for their loser son, or you can't hack the undergrad pressure. So which one is it?

Think big, non clumping corn granuals, very consistent with dry sand, and relatively light in weight.

I'm off right now MCAT prep. Taking it this summer, then finishing my last few classes in the fall. I'll be able to apply for schools in the fall, and that way I'll only have a semester gap between graduating and either going to med school or PA school, versus taking a full year off like a lot of kids do.

No, but you just made the claim that you have never met anyone that has shelled out money for a level 3 holster.

Okay I gotcha, you slept in too late, missed the corn window and got taters instead.

RTT, where did you take your avalanche training?

[BigDaddy]

RTT, where did you take your avalanche training?

From his FB pics, I'd bet the school of hard knocks.

[VTColdSmoke]

I feel I need to offer my 2 cents here...

RTTT - learn from this experience, learn from your mistakes. You need to change the way you approach the backcountry. It's obvious that you think you are a master of the whites, but actually know very little about backcountry safety... sorry to be a dick but you need to get educated, find experienced partners and leave the FKN gun at home! WTF! You also might find the experience more enjoyable if your not depriving your body of nutrients.. that wanting to be prepared for an emergency so I don't eat or drink logic is just stupid in my opinion.

TGR Community - go easy on the kid, this is getting sad. It started constructive but is getting out of control. It's obvious that he has done some stupid shit and it's hard to like him since he is quick to be a douche defending his internet honor and the whole gun thing :rolls eyes:

He seems like he is very sensitive and the compassionate father in me feels bad for him, but he is also stubborn and pompous and this thread is pure gold that's for sure. It's like a bad movie..

[From_the_NEK]

RTT, where did you take your avalanche training?

I think he stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in North Conway. So no training is needed.

[PNWbrit]

Rectally?

are you kidding? he fits in perfectly, that's what makes the whole trainwreck so appealing. it's the the GSA shitfit of everyone making fun of a dude whos just like them. well, except he was going to AK and they weren't.

solo hikers and mountaineers are out there...Please stop 2nd guessing their disasters. Friends and family cant stop solo adventures;why do TGR geeks try to play cpt hindsight with the solo guys so much?This guy here needs some Avalanche skiils to match his ballsize;approaching untested cornices and windslabs,with little regard for consequence.But,quit bitchin at solo hikers TGR...and tough luck to those who take the risk and Die;yea .... it's dangerous...it is like 'Point' your out there in the frontline.If you wanna feel alive b4 you Die,take a solo night ski hike smtime

[SgtSkidmark]

Perfect avalanche snow is light and not cohesive. Lemme write that down....Hate to tell you kid, you're going to fuck up your med school interviews professing shit you know nothing about, if you even get an interview. Practicing medicine is just that: practicing, always learning. You won't be able to hide your bullshitting know-it-all attitude from the panel. Better start thinking about plan B or develop some humility in a hurry.

[plugboots]

^^^WTF don't you get Michael? OP spews, acts like a jackass for us to make fun of him. Get on board.

[axebiker]

No, but you just made the claim that you have never met anyone that has shelled out money for a level 3 holster.

Show me where. I'll be waiting.

Hint: You should look at a different user's post.

Nobody's bitching about solo BC trips in general. We are only mocking young Dr Gnar's madd skilzz and judgement during his.

And I'm starting to smell a troll after disclosure of his trip report from last year. I needz da video footy from the mobile phone strapped to his chick magnet abs.

[Tri-Ungulate]

MRIs, how the fuck do they work?

You don't reeely need to know how them there MRI doohickeys work. Just give Jim S or berko a call if'n you need one read.

Patrick seems like most of the spoiled, entitled, adolescent ski racers I've met. He's the East Coast's answer to AKPM. Same name too.

Aren't ya bein' a little hard on the 'monkey? Adolescent cluelessness occasionally (OK, sometimes more than occasionally), but neither spoiled nor entitled, IMO. I kinda think of AKPM as the Jim Anchower of ski bums. Plus, you're a JONG compared to him.

He's young, hopefully he'll figure things out.

Very far from spoiled. Wouldn't be working my way through school if that was the case. I don't work 30 hours a week with 18 credits and commute 90 miles one way for the fuck of it.

[Rise To The Top]

Brain synapses and MRIs, how the fuck do they work?

NMRI is more chemistry than physics. Of course, the imaging devices themselves require circuit and magnetism knowledge, but last time I checked that stuff is left for the bio-med peeps.

Wow. Good luck on the MCATs.

[SgtSkidmark]

I'm starting to think that this is all an elaborate troll but there have been wolves on mt hood lately and a mangled elk too, so what the heck! Just ordered a level 3 holster and a Voile BC Beretta. The one with fish scales.
