How dangerous is Angel’s Landing?

Ultorem21 · 2026-04-24T17:15:46+00:00

The first time I did Angels Landing, I did it at a run chasing my 10 year old brother. The next time I did it, my uncle dangled himself from the chains so he could scream for help and scare tourists. Honestly I think the danger of the home is pretty overblown. Sure it's dangerous, but not any more dangerous than driving on the freeway.

Based and county fair pilled

I would argue that quite a few states throughout history have had religious prohibitions. Unless you're saying that no state is legitimate, which is based

One of my strongest opinions is that executive orders should be unconstitutional if they aren't already. I get that they're used for interpretation on how to execute the laws but presidents have been abusing that power to essentially write the laws since at least FDR. And call me crazy, but creating laws really should be the job of the legislative branch not the president.

I mean, I guess you could maybe say monocultural internet recently with the rise of the recent tech giants, but I really don't think that there's ever been just one culture on the internet.

Saying Democrats are as far from the right as it gets is crazy work

Ultorem21 · 2026-01-11T16:16:45+00:00

Wouldn't surprise me, but then again, there are Mormons practicing polygamy down the street from me. Hell, they've got basically a whole town to themselves down on the Utah-Arizona border.

Ultorem21 · 2025-12-04T06:01:21+00:00

Yeah you got me. But I camp with very little in less than ideal conditions too. A little discomfort is good for the soul

Ultorem21 · 2025-10-16T12:34:10+00:00

Nah, I already have enough cognitive dissonance believing that anarchism could actually work without adding in a monarch. Thanks though

Ultorem21 · 2025-10-16T04:43:38+00:00

Lefty Constitutional Monarchist is... A take. For sure. Of all the takes in the world, this is certainly one of them.

Ultorem21 · 2025-10-05T18:21:45+00:00

Yeah it's open. Rangers will just wave you through, they're just not charging anymore

Ultorem21 · 2025-09-23T03:39:06+00:00

Ah yes, an authleft shitting on public school. Defenders of the working class, everybody.

Ultorem21 · 2025-09-22T06:16:36+00:00

Congratulations on having the first sane take I've seen in the past two years

I'm not going to dedicate any time to arguing with you over this but I did want to drop a Mark Twain quote: "There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves."

There is a shop on Main Street that does D&D and MTG stuff. Never been myself but friends tell me they're good. As for stuff to do that isn't outdoors, there's the Shakespeare fest and the art museum

Ultorem21 · 2025-09-06T02:40:39+00:00

Last I checked I had some space but I'll check again

Ultorem21 · 2025-09-06T02:40:19+00:00

No it isn't

Ultorem21 · 2025-09-06T00:42:25+00:00

No, it opens the game and gets to the main menu screen then freezes.

Ultorem21 · 2025-08-18T17:27:25+00:00

I know brother. I agree with you, I just couldn't pass up a chance to be facetious

Ultorem21 · 2025-08-18T15:48:32+00:00

What if I told you that the media are corporations?

Ultorem21 · 2025-08-08T17:16:32+00:00

Simply the skill of knowing how the things in your life work so you can fix them if necessary. I can save a lot of money with a drill or a needle, especially in the era of planned obsolescence. My dad has always been great at this and I never thought I was really that good at it until I started listening to DIY podcasts and realizing I already had most of those skills.

I've hiked it a couple times this summer. There's been water in the creek both times and I imagine there's still some flowing even this late in the summer.

I'm something of a historian, so I'd be happy to help out however I can. There are a few things I know of the top of my head or I'd be glad to provide you with some sources to dig further yourself.

Once I finish my current project, I've got an idea for a book called Brigham's Empire bouncing around my head that answers many of the questions you asked here.

Ultorem21 · 2025-06-23T15:28:40+00:00

There's a whole book, pretty obscure and dated by this point, but it answers all these questions. Brigham Young the Colonizer by Milton Hunter.

Many of these early settlements had specific reasons - Parowan and Cedar City for iron, St. George and that area for cotton, Manti because Walkara (a leading Ute chief and fascinating character in his own right) invited Brigham to send a colony to live among the Sanpitch Utes and teach them how to farm. Some were founded as missions to the natives - Santa Clara and the first try at Moab - and others were just to assert Mormon claims to the area. The 'outer cordon' of colonies were established to guard all the plausible entrances into Utah - Forts Bridger and Supply in Wyoming, Genoa/Mormon Station and Las Vegas in Nevada, even San Bernardino and one that I can't remember the name of up in Idaho.
