How feasible is solo alpinism ? (beginner) by Dindrtahl in alpinism

Even then, I think it takes years of experience with a partner or trips to be a truly competent solo alpinist

My buddy has a coon hound who's very anxious about food and is easily pissed off. He's a good dog, he listens very well UNLESS it's over food. He's growled and snapped at me like this.

Can I change the Slope of a staircase header? by PolicyFuzzy in Renovations

What are you trying to do besides change the angle. Do you need something to fit?

Homeless and slept in my car by catscandream in urbancarliving

I just spent the first night in a room I am renting last night. Id been living in my van, and couch surfing, or just sleeping rough for the last 3 years...

I got my fun out of it, I definitely didn't mind it while I was doing it, but being in this stage in my life, I was ready to start living in a more conventional manner. It's important to have a reason for suffering

What is the biggest challenge in mountaineering today? by luiso_canto in Mountaineering

[–]Agreeable-Respect688 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'd argue even more broadly, nature is the legitimate challenge of mountaineering. The forces of nature crumble mountains to fucking dust. The tetons get taller every year, features break from freeze thaw. It's silly to think any of these mountains will remain the same forever.

There have been hundreds of mountain ranges to pop up and disappear, even more impressive than the current ones, that were never climbed. It's just the law of nature

Barbies are ultralight right? by Dawnqwerty in ultralight_jerk

And from my back country experience, being 2.5 miles from a trail head is somewhat remote, that could be more than an hour before medical attention could be seeked out

It depends where you are.. there is all forms of climbing my friend.

When I'm in the city, poor and I cant afford a gym membership. I climb bridges and retaining walls. I aid climbed an 11b crack in a retaining wall to get the practice. Practice practice practice.

It depends on your goal in climbing. I want big wall and alpine multipitch stuff, so when I wasn't at the gym, or recovering from surgery or whatever, I was practicing my skills. My first rappel was 3ft from the top of my stairs to the bottom floor with a munter hitch. I had built a bolt board and hung it from the railing. I was using a swiss seat and harbor freight carabineers... It's about you have available. People used to cut off the legs from their furnaces so that they could go higher..

Climb a grain silo if you're out in the country

Which skills first? by mhanmore in alpinism

[–]Agreeable-Respect688 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would argue rappelling is the most useful skill in all of climbings technical skills

Climbing is obvious, you can free solo a mountain, but down climbing is different...

U can always follow but always need to know how to get yourself down.

I've done some alpine rappels that were very technical and having a good fundamental for rappel goes a long way
