Let me be the lone person to congratulate the dude for showing the drive and determination to do something that difficult. It’s easy for all the keyboard warriors to criticize him, but there’s not a person on this board who could match the feat. This guy clearly doesn’t live behind a keyboard or an Xbox.
Once upon a time, we admired young Americans who did difficult, crazy things just for the hell of it. I guess those days have passed.

Yeah. Back in the day we used to snow surf by catching a ride holding the back bumper of a passing car. Crazy kids that we were;-[)

I understand your admiration but I doubt you’d like to be the guy in the car that hits him dead.

To scale the mountain didn’t mess with the rest of us.

He was willing to scar someone or several people for life who’d inadvertently participate in killing him.

I know a person who hit a man running across a freeway. I don’t know that he ever got over it.
