Not Climbing
Posted on: Thursday 10/25/2018 01:10:40
Today I went to an old stomping ground called Hayden Falls. It's a 60 foot high, 45 yard wide canyon that Hayden Run Creek cut into layers of fossil embedded limestone. As a kids we scaled down the walls to the bottom. We did so to swim in the natural pool below the falling water, and hunt for fossils (Yeah, I was a Science Club geek). We were were fearless, stupid, or probably both. We saw no danger in the climbing of very steep rock walls we did there.
I've come back to find this can no longer be done. There are these fenced, wooden walkways and observation decks all over. No more running loose. Apparently, while I was gone there were a few serious accidents and a death.
Unfortunately, right after I got here a 16-year-old girl with depression whom was missing managed to jump to her death there. I found today a very well hidden, non-fenced trail past the park. It leads to the rock shelves where the water goes down over the front of the falls. 60 feet in the air.
The thought is terribly, horribly sad. Such a young life that likely seemed 100% hopeless and worthless to its owner. The tributes at the park are very sad, as well. It truly made me feel really lucky for the shape of my mental state. It could be very much worse.

Hanging: the only way to go. Believe me, I've researched them all. /homepage

No Mary. Kicking wildly while asphyxiating, and pissing yourself, and emptying your colon does not sound good to me. I would say pills- antidepressants, anti-anxiety, sleep. Don't worry about me. Just saying./homepage

Your body is going to empty itself regardless of method. You can minimize it to some extent by taking certain preparations. Pentobarbital (Nembutal) is my personal "gold standard," but even if you go to Mexico, it's hard to get anymore. /homepage

Also if the length of fall and the quality of noose is correct you die immediately from a broken neck, not strangulation.
