Weird stuff.... like the weird name coincidences of the Lincoln and Kennedy presidencies.

The climber changed his name to Michael Joseph Ryan before the climb, don’t know when or why. Attended Langley High School in McLean, VA [not kidding] before dropping out and getting his GED, was considered gifted before his grades started to slip when he was working on a ‘project’ possibly to start his own business...belonged to the Fairfax County Republican Club...when he did this his ‘parents’ were on vacation in Italy visiting Rome, Naples and Pompeii...
and this was in August 2016 when all kinds of intrigue was going on in Italy...

Look up the name he renamed himself.... Michael Joseph Ryan... first name that comes up [on Wikipedia fwiw] is an epidemiologist with WHO... older guy in his 50s:

Michael J. Ryan (doctor)
