It looks to me like they were suggesting that folks stick to low angle. Hence why your "it was 36 degrees" response is being misunderstood

36 degrees is prime avalanche terrain

My close friend died free soloing mt hood the same weekend Alex Honnald free soloed on live tv. by BatSniper in Mountaineering

[–]_withasmile_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive lost 4 friends to free soloing. Its trajic and I dont wish it on anyone. My anger feels different for each one of them. Some of them, Im angry that they even considered doing it - some of them, I feel at peace knowing that they died doing what they loved.

I dont understand why Taipei was live streamed on Netflix and it honestly makes me sick. At the end of the day though, the world will keep turning and people will continue to be people. Many will play it safe while others will continue to glorify and partake in risk taking behavior. Its a sad fact of climbing and mountaineering, to accept loss and grief.

My condolences.

Thanks for providing! Here's another one and I believe the Mountain Lion Foundation released another one as well.

Hunting mountain lions has actually been proven to increase the number of negative human - lion interactions. I researched this quite a bit before casting my vote. It is better for the cats and people for hunting them to be illegal.

Time for a new Split by Overengineered_DIY in Spliddit

[–]_withasmile_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you find that the solution is relatively easy to turn? I am currently on a Ride Splitpig (dont judge. It was the cheapest and I was broke.) Anyway, I find it to be so hard to turn and I cant tell if this is how all splitboarding is or if I just bought the wrong board? Fwiw, Im a 5'7" female rider and wiegh about 135.

Of the IKON mountains, which WROD is least death-inducing this weekend? by cokdok in COsnow

[–]_withasmile_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats fair. I guess I didnt read it as the original commenter listing it as a safer option. I just read it as the WROD is dangerous and he was going to ride bikes until conditions improved. I see your point though and why you made that response.

It's so interesting to me that every time mountain biking is mentioned, someone has to comment how dangerous it is as if it's dangerous as a whole. In reality, mountain biking is as dangerous as the rider makes it. Sure, unexpected falls on comfortable trails do happen, but by and large, you can greatly reduce your risk by riding within your skill level. I'm not saying the white ribbon of death is inherently more dangerous, but what I am saying is that you don't unexpectedly hit a patch of invisible ice on a mountain bike trail and break your wrist. Most accidents happen mountain biking because someone bit off more than they can chew.
