I’d say you all are beating a dead horse.

No more so than all the other dead horses around here.

See? I don't know everything. I knew a wheelchair was ok, I didn't realize a motorized one was. It is. So long as it would be allowed indoors. So no internal combustion engines. I suppose she could have gotten away with a Segway...but it still doesn't explain the Whites or even K... Now the talk has become, "Is she even paralyzed?" since she has given varying causes of her paralysis. Plus, if you look at her videos and photos you'll see legs that appear to have....muscle tone. Paralyzed legs atrophy and do not have muscle tone....
I saw him speak after his Everest trip.
He totally sandbagged us in a funny way.
He asked the audience how many of us did a 14er. It was in Colorado after all.
Many of us raised our hands. Erik then laughed.
We sheepishly looked at each other and laughed with him.

ha...
had sorta the same experience with him...
he stopped by our station and i went outside to interview him...
typically i tell the person that im about to interview, to just look at me and not look right into the camera...
i kinda stuttered and just said to look in the direction of my voice.....
at this point, he was used to the media and knew what i needed....
really nice guy as well.........
Sure, you can take a motorized wheelchair or Segway into the "wilderness." But anyone who has spent any time on the AT will tell you that neither a wheelchair nor a Segway would be able to handle the vast majority of miles on the trail. It is steep, rocky, rooty, slabby, slippery, muddy, you name it. It's also quite narrow for most of its length, maybe 18-24 inches, tops. Even in "easy" Shenandoah National Park, there are very limited parts of the trail where a wheelchair or Segway could go. The three+ miles after Harpers Ferry (nobo), sure, but that isn't impressive.
You're right, of course. And yet I'm an uber-skeptic who hiked the AT in '16—I never bought Wildcard Ninja's baloney for one second—and I accepted her great "feat." In no way excusing my foolish gullibility, but I didn't read the media carefully or watch much of the video at length. Had I watched her struggle to climb Katahdin (ESPN, Boston Globe), it would have been apparent to me that she could in no way have hiked the trail.
The only explanation I have is that I wanted this inspiring story to be true. But as more and more evidence emerges, it's pretty appalling the level of deception that went into this ruse.
Bring on the AT!!
