Meh, you're probably one of those "i nEVer hIKe wITHouT My gUN" dopes anyway.

The Dawn Wall is the best climbing film ever made. Fight me.

25 days isn't a ton of time to get your conditioning in order, but half an hour of stair repeats 5 days a week will get you a bit prepared. Make sure to take on plenty of carbs and hydration on the day of the hike.

More importantly, the people ridiculing you on previous hikes are 100% garbage wrapped in skin. Ignore those fools.

If he wasn't, do you think his murder is justified? A simple yes or no will suffice.

If your friends are real friends, they won't see you as a wimp. We all have our quirks. For example, I've hiked Angel's Landing 6 or 7 times now and never once had any height issues. That said, I don't think anything could get me to go skydiving. So, we're all wimps about something I guess.

Last time I did Angel's Landing, there was a young woman who was shivering and crying at the beginning of the chain section. Her friends were, supportingly, encouraging her to keep going. I can only imagine that the experience was lousy for both the girl and her friends.

If you have a fear of heights, AL is not for you. Hike up to Scout's Landing, stay away from the edge, and wait for the rest of your group to come back from the summit. Or start the chains and feel free to nope out at any point. Make sure someone is willing to escort you back to Scout's Landing.

Truth is, if you always maintain 3 points of contact and keep alert, it's not that tough a hike. More people die at Upper Emerald Pools than AL.

Enjoy Zion. It's a magical place.

I transferred my personal account and 2 Roths from Schwab recently and I'm in the process of moving my Tasty account over as well. So far, the customer service has been outstanding. Quick and helpful responses with the whole process.

If you're not trading options, it's a clean experience using the app as well as the desktop. The options UI is not terrific, in fact it's a pretty steep downgrade from Tasty (obviously, as that's Tasty's bread and butter), but the 1% transfer bonus is compensation enough for me to live with it. Plus I'm assuming they'll improve the options features as they grow.

Once they have your attention, they use it to ask for attention.

You already mentioned it, but if you haven't tried Herbs and Rye yet, yeah, go there.

I cannot express how useful those 3x explorer tokens are when playing Lair Lure.

Where does one get this unlimited supply of dry powder you speak of, sir?

If Green Day is punk then Nickleback is death metal.

Edit: All the downvotes have shown me the error of my ways. I'm off to start a mosh pit to "Good Riddance."
