Idiots plain and simple. We don't cry when heroin addicts die for their cause, why do we cry fir adrenaline junkies? Just a point!

Hey Craig Kelly died in an avalanche, I think you should cry, I think it's a noble death.

That avalanche was not triggered by Craig! I would get all of your facts in line before you start talking crap!

Ya, and the people that died in Revi didn't didn't trigger that avalanche either. Maybe you should understand my post before you start talking crap. Remember look left then right

actually according to the news reports the avalanche was human triggered.

guiding a group and having your tail guide cut in above is a shit load different then "hold my beer and watch this" or even like Revy sitting in the runout zone right under high marking in a known avalanche path, when warnings have been put out.

A noble death??? tell me would you like to die in an ultra violent avalanche where you can not even scream your mothers name? Noble.....BULL SHIT.

Nobody "likes" to die from anything, but I'd rather die a noble death in an avalanche or ripped apart from a grizzly bear than die from a more likely cause...... Cancer or heart disease. Odds are that's how your dying. We live and die in the mountains. Not in some stinky hospital bed high on morphine weighing 88 lbs. Die with courage die with bravery. Die with your boots on.

dead is dead
nothing noble about it at all.
