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

We're going to need a smaller boat....

[Hugh Conway]

Anything to add that is even REMOTELY sarcastic??

He couldn't handle Minnesota. Real wolves and Buck Hill

[From_the_NEK]

Why does all the corn in Iowa lean north?










Minnesota Sucks!

[Vt-Freeheel]

Wolves will attack anyone

^^^ Sweet Jesus, are those 130 flex rear entries? Do want!

[DeathVan]

The "self rescue" scenario is looking a bit dubious



What's the internal temperature of a Tauntaun?

-Luk warm

[spook]

Shouldn't he be coming out the asshole?

[retirwntm]

The tauntaun?

[NoPostholio]

Shouldn't he be coming out the asshole?

He shot his way out like Ironman

[monkfish]

Wonder how this worked out for our hero

[PNWbrit]

Hopefully he has done sufficient gear spreadsheeting this time.

Jesus Christ, almost three weeks without a computer and phone and all of this shit happens?

The OP's FIS racing is legit. I've seen him race many times (long story). He's actually fairly well known in the area. As for the rest of this shit...

http://data.fis-ski.com/dynamic/athl...01&type=result

Looks like he hasn't raced FIS in 3 years...

Yea, school does that.

His best USSA results were 249 in SL and 173 in GS, although far more typical was mid to high 200s. Also a surprisingly decent number of SG results in the mid to high 200s, which in a way is more impressive given the limited Eastern opportunities for speed event training and racing.

Translated into English: This demonstrates a high level of technical skiing competence, especially on firm conditions and steep terrain. But puzzling why he ever paid for a FIS license at this level, given that from a competitive viewpoint, they're just middling USSA results, which wouldn't even seem to qualify for any FIS races.

Raced USSA for my first two seasons, spent most of the time training. Raced my freshman year at UNH under a Canadian FIS license (my father is Canadian, which allows me to race as a CAN athlete as well). It is far easier to enter under the Canadian quota in a majority of the US FIS races, which is why I was Canadian that year. Got my points in SG and DH that year to the low 100s, and GS points to 90s. I killed it in training the next year and applied for the US license, had backing from several coaches FIS coaches (KUA, Colby Sawyer, National Ski Academy (in Canada), Alberta Alpine), and got entered into a series of races in Canada that year, primarily GMC Cups (National Championship series, generally single point penalties) and NorAm cups. Fucked up my MCL and meniscus the week before I left, and sat out the rest of the season racing in NH and VT in USSA level races. That is why the one result I have on FIS is a DNS. Anyone with any knowledge of racing knows that you can't just sign up and get into FIS races, especially international competition without serious backing.

Wonder how this worked out for our hero

Couldn't have gone better. 30s, light wind, not a cloud in the sky. Other than the lower half of the Sherbie being closed, you couldn't ask for more.

Off to do more PT/PT, see ya fuckers later.

[east or bust]

I would be honored to be an accepted friend of yours on FB

[Brianskis]

Fresh Blood!

In all seriousness RT3, isn't it time to finally release the much anticipated selfie taken just before your fall?!?

[the Cock]

Sherbie is in thirds not halves!

Fuckin' doctors trying to do math. (shakes head in disgust)

[NoPostholio]

RT3 might indeed be smarter than your average la rawj - with the multi quotes and pics from jump Street

[pfluffenmeister]

Jesus Christ, almost three weeks without a computer and phone and all this shit happens?!?

Oh thank God, you're safe!










I thought the wolves got you.

[wolfelot]

He is back!!!!

[dark_star]

So RT3 was in Tuckerman yesterday? Someone should've told the snow rangers. That way, they could've added "accidental discharge" to the lists of hazards in the general advisory.

It certainly would have affected my terrain choices.

T3B is back!?! I was in despair thinking my burning questions would never be answered

This is fascinating. I'm really interested in finding out when you:
- used the BP cuff, stethoscope and hemopowder in your BC adventures
- the conditions you think will necessitate an IV, and why that will be more important than say Antihistamines for insect bite or a means of irrigating/closing deep wounds, which seem lacking in your "full med kit". Unless that's what the saline bag is for...

Now that is a knife. http://www.gerbergear.com/Military/K...Knife_22-41400
How does it work for tightening Phillips screws?

We await your sage advice!

[NoPostholio]

T3B is back!?!

Yes, but no computer or phone to answer the many queries - only FB updates. This way he stays one step ahead of the pack

that's how the story will end. he'll fall and the jostling will fire his gun and shoot him in the head.

[jono]

three weeks without a shit?

Yea. Raced. Raced Canadian Canadian CAN. Canadian quota was Canadian. points points. I killed several coaches and Fucked up my knowledge of racing. you can't just ask for more later.

Life lessons: learn how to recognize relevance and irrelevance and distinguish between the two. No one cares that you race. No one cares that you were 'fast' once. No one cares about test scores or grades or which major you picked. Stupid is as stupid does.

Learn how to self arrest. Or just use the blood pressure cuff and stethoscope to tie the ice axe to your arm, repackage the contraption as a weight saving multi-purpose backcuntry solution (tm) and rise to the top with a sales pitch that will finance your whole education (unless you're accepted somewhere).

Either way.
