"On a somewhat related note, I was going to try and make an enormous pile of rocks ( if they are available ) on the summit of Russell this weekend - try to raise it up several feet. I figured it would be a good use of my energy."
reminds me of a time scuba diving with a buddy and we were doing our first deep dive. we were down about 98.5' and he became obsessed with going down 100'. So he started digging a hole in the ocean floor and putting his dive computer/depth gauge in the hole trying to get to 100'. After a little while it was pretty clear that he wasn't in his right mind...in fact, he was totally narc'd. Another dive buddy and I had to somewhat forcefully get him to start toward the surface. When he was doing it, he said that it was the most important thing in the universe. Now he just laughs about it because it was so foolish.
What I am trying to say is, I totally approve of trying to raise the summit of Russell by a few feet.
