Mount Adams was not known to Kelley and was thus not in his plan. Mount Hood, in fact, was designated by Kelley to be renamed after President John Adams but a mistake by a mapmaker placed the Mount Adams name north of Mount Hood and about 40 miles (64 km) east of Mount St. Helens. By sheer coincidence there was in fact a large mountain there to receive the name. Since the mountain had no official name at the time, Kelley's name stuck even though the rest of his plan failed.[50]
:fmicon:
Sounds like a sign of god's great intelligent design. We must worship god's mt. Adams and not the imposter one that was named by mere men.
ya, but....
"The Aetherius Society claims that Mount Adams (NH) is one of 10 "holy mountains" around the world.[1][2]"
Seems legit
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aetherius_Society
http://www.aetherius.org/pilgrimages-to-holy-mountains/
"The society also believes that it is to make the way for the "Next Master," a messianic figure who will descend upon Earth in a flying saucer, possessing magic more powerful than all the world's armies"
Holy shit, this can only mean that Fall to bottom is the next master!!!
I think here in the real world, though, spook's original statement has been proven, as follows:
Real mountains do not let infidels who release improperly secured ski boots and sidearms go unpithed.
It follows that if he had been on the real mount Adams he would have died.
RT3 is alive.
Therefore, he was not on the real Mount Adams.
I believe that in order to show that the NH Mount Adams is real you would have to challenge the whole account or establish that RT3 was not the real-world infidel he appears to be. Shall we say another 20 pages or so?
wait, a drunken Cartographers mistake is now the divine hand of god???
Many mere mortals have fallen and perished on the first Mt Adams as well, including the same blessed spot that the young Messiah "descended" back to earth, indubitably a sign that he IS the second coming of Le Rog
Bigger scarier mountain? Implies bigger scarier wolves. Gonna have to equip the intrepidacious lad with a S&W 500:

^^^^prob no level 3 for that hand cannon - cowpokes wanted easier access and hardly ever slid down the 7 or similar
I've had a few close calls with almost losing my brake-less dynafits, my buddy lost a tele ski off a ridge hike last year, I just can't imagine its possible to put your boots on while they are clicked into your skis. If you didn't lose them down the hill cause the brakes are up, you would lose your balance and fall down the... Oh wait, that part happened....

Agreed. RT3 has gone dark both here and on Epic. Time for the mods to HOF this bitch.Quote:

^^^^you know it's HOF when you've left Yetiman speechless
Word on the street is that RT3, rawj and owner of the Clippers all have retained the same counsel to fight their lifetime banishments - RT3's being self imposed.
Hugh's weak ass cynicism usually makes me want to puke, but I agree there was a bunch of piling on after the whistle on this rather effeminate tackle.
A lot of guys pack heat in the backcountry. Granted they're usually hunting, but it's not uncommon to see a .44 mag on the hip of a guy already carrying a shotgun. Most of 'em claim cougars to be the reason but whatever. OP will grow out of that kind of outlandish fear of wolves when his sack drops.
Avy training = the same old TGR cry babies. Go spend big money with some poseur before you even think of stepping out on snow. There was no avy risk that's easy enough.
As far as the solo thing - that's the only intriguing angle of this story (other than the rather pathetic self-promotion of being a total IDIOT). Soloing is it's own topic. My background in paddling is much stronger than in skiing, but I regularly go out alone in both a kayak or on skis. A lot of guys that are a lot more badass, knowledgeable and skilled than I do too. The fact of the matter is the only rule of soloing is not to expect to get any sympathy. You drown in a sieve... too fucking bad. You slide down a "waterfall" and smash your face up... too bad. OP, you'd be better off claiming your old lady slapped you around a little. She gets drunk and she's a mean drunk. Don't admit that you made a mistake alone. You were out looking for "adventure" and it found you. Did you piss yourself? That would have been good info for your blaahg.
^^^ agree with all of that except the piling on the OP started the thread looking for attention and got it. All deserved.

Whilst processing this thread all day at work it occurred to me that this may be a masterpiece of fine art by some sort of 10th degree black belt super-ninja of trolling. You know, somebody who became aware of this story by way of epic and other social media and created an ironic username here in order to sculpt the brilliance that we've witnessed herein.
God, aliens, the multiverse, sasquatch, GSA, rt3...I want to believe. I want to live in that world, and yet skepticism has soiled my pure and trusting soul.
If this is an artful troll, for the love of ullr and Rob Story for fuck's loving sake please PM me. I swear on my sacred honor I won't tell.
that is all.
I'm missing the skiing connection here^. But if you say it's a good idea, I'll be packing from here on out.Quote:

That sort of explains some things.Quote:

Yetiman is wise. I too appreciate the skilz that trolled - nay Rised - this thread to the very top.

Lynchdogger, thanks for the back up. Piling on, in and of itself has become the norm. I don't feel bad for Rt3 but it's why this place has the rep of being so fratty.
Naysayers, I won't spew on my skiing background, but I refer to the paddling because that's where I really ran into a culture of never going out alone. I remember when I first starting running a local section solo and some cliquey posers wouldn't even hoist a beer at the bar with me anymore.
It's vaguely humorous who piles on and why. To have some of you question my riding because I say I paddle stronger is also only slightly funny. Especially with the regularity that you JONG the fuck out of local conditions thread.
alpy, I don't doubt that there are some using tannerite or hand charges for private mitigation.
And if it's a troll it's world class. The bullshit about taking saline in his med kit is too rich. I hope you're right, yeti - but I doubt it.
I too thought the most plausible explanation for all this was an elaborate troll as Yetiman described. Then I noticed that RT3 started posting his racin' skis here a few years ago and...sorry to spoil that for you. I wanted to believe it, too. The bunny! The news coverage! The face borrowed from bin Laden's (fake) corpse...what a thing of beauty--and a lost gun?!? Truth is stranger than fiction, but this time it would be so much cooler if it was fake.
Some revolvers can be loaded with 410 shells...only whimpy cornices would fall from 410 shots....Quote:

Just too many events confirmed by news to be faked. :(
Aha, but riddle me this: Some maggot is sitting in the greater Vail area during mud season with nothing to do and sees this story linked from a friend-of-a-friend on teh facebookz. He then reads various news accounts of this and somewhere along the line realizes this is the same little numbnuts who put a TR up on Epic, he looks at the facebook page and sees the actual little numbnuts posting ridiculous shit like losing his pistol in the ragdoll. Bang! Like lightning striking the bubbling primordial soup a phenomenon was born...the guy who falls to the bottom will be named Rise to the Top. An alias is born!Quote:

Well, in this case I have a lot easier time going about my life thinking that some really smart guy somewhere (let's be honest, it's Vail) created this bullshit character for mud season shits and grins versus reckoning with the idea that some complete dumbshit is dumbshitting around scared to death of wolves and going to some prestigious University to prepare to be a medical doctor. Ugh, shoot me now. Shoot me now with your flying Beretta Dr. Douche and leave my carcass for the wolves to mangle.
Exactly my thinking, Yetiman. So the next logical question is: when did this guy join TGR? Alas, 2009. Even talked about Epic early on. So if this is an elaborate troll it's 5 years in the making? That'd be almost sadder than the story as told. Even with the ice axe being 'torn from his hand.'
I find this more likely than the guy being real, but sadly, too many things back the story up. The FB page is one and it would seem he really is an attention whore with a desire for cool scars.Quote:

RT3 is a sign from Ullr just as the GSA was.
What do the archetypes mean???
The gun?
The wolves?
The fall?
Mount Adams?
The saline solution?
The attention seeking?
Pre-med?
The self-rescue?
The holster?
Pondering these things may drive many Mags insane.
