Someone DID die the other day, slipping from a cliff while hiking with her husband. Can’t remember if it was in NY.

Hiking. Useless if it’s going to take your life.

I like hiking, but not that much.

“...A 46-year-old woman from South Glens Falls nearly fell off a cliff while hiking...”

What is with all these hiking morons falling all the time? Haven’t they heard of cars or even bicycles to get from point A to point B? It seems they are forever falling off heights, drowning in a boiling Yellowstone cauldron, being eaten alive by grizzlies, attacked by a serial killer or whatever other hideous demise they may blunder into.

Rain on ice is really slick. Standing on a flat surface is next to impossible.

It was Amateur Hour in upstate New York's Adirondacks.

"Ranger Martin, with the help of Ranger Lewis, gave the hiker warm liquids, food and dry clothing."

Were the park rangers charged with sexual assault or a hate crime?(sarc)( Guess she wasn't a lefty)

Her name? Hope Lloyd. A very lucky 46 year old woman.

Hey let’s go for a hike on a mountain!
FTA: it was pouring rain, and there was deep snow and slippery ice

slipping off the summit of South Dix Mountain around 5:30 p.m.

As a side note, it's pitch dark at 5:30, so what was this lunatic woman doing alone supposedly hiking?
