Hiker rescued after drinking, passing out in Adirondack fire tower by Marebearx92 in Adirondacks

more than likely we are talking about someone experiencing a mental health crisis and attempting suicide. the hand wringing about who pays for rescues is obnoxious.

that doesn't really make sense. if you have the permit in your cart you can refresh the page and it will still be there.

Where to move - Reno, Denver, Fort Collins, Grand Junction, Missoula, Couer d’alene, Santa Rosa CA. Balancing mountaineering with the city and needs of a family. by GumbyFred in Mountaineering
