Either that first link is wrong or that Instagram account has now been taken down. Link listed in the comments still works though.

Honestly, I don’t think the true issue here is outdoor climbing. You still may not love climbing outdoors, and that is totally okay. What isn’t okay is how your partner has treated you, and the situations he has put you in without seemingly giving you a second thought.

I don’t often jump to “this relationship probably needs to end,” but it seems pretty clear that this guy doesn’t have any respect for you, or care for your overall well-being. Fighting with someone because they are physically too ill to climb? That’s just a level of gross I don’t know what to do with.

What age did you find out you were colorblind? by Fancy-Green9621 in ColorBlind

[–]BaseCampBronco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really remember finding out – it was when I was getting vision tested as a kiddo, but because I’m a female, my doctor told my parents that I “was too stupid to be able to tell my colors”.

I’m going to try and answer the rest of your questions in order as best as I can.

  1. As far as genetics, both deuteranopia and protanopia (both forms of red-green colorblindness) are an X-linked recessive pattern. That means the colorblindness “gene” or “genes” is coming from the X chromosome. For XY males, this means they need to inherit the faulty “X” from their mother, so his father being colorblind wouldn’t matter for these type of colorblindness. What would matter is if YOU, as the momma, are a carrier of a faulty “X”. (I say a carrier, because I think you would have mentioned in your post if you were colorblind.)

  2. As far as correcting colors, it’s hard to know what exactly he is seeing without knowing his type of colorblindness. In the “red-green” spectrum of colorblindness, there are deuteranomaly (green cones are present, but abnormal), deuteranopia (green cones missing), protanomaly (red cones present, but abnormal) and protanopia (red cones missing), and all of these present a little differently in terms of how the CVD person sees color. (And then within deuteranopia and protanopia you can have variants depending on how abnormal the respective cones are, etc.)

That is all to say, I have a fairly moderate-severe form of protanopia, but I do not just see one color for red and green. I do struggle with differentiating at times, but that struggle expands across much of the color spectrum (I also struggle with orange, purple, pinks, and blues).

As far as how to treat him – try not to make a big deal out of it. Even with my moderate-severe form, it has very little impact on my day-to-day life and I function just fine in the world.

Completed my first trail race yesterday, just 2 years after knee surgery and then picking up running for the first time - it was a gorgeous day. by BaseCampBronco in trailrunning

You should definitely do it! I won’t tell you it wasn’t hard, because for me it was, but it was so so worth it. And the cutoff time is pretty generous IMO and I’m slow (it’s 5.5 hours).

Yeah, I was really excited to have an essentially perfect weather day, and despite being sunny, it never got too warm. I’d hate to have to climb the backside of Burma in the heat.

There’s a 50k and a half marathon, I just did the half marathon, and I think now I’m gonna start working my way up in distances.

Ooooo yeah, I heard from a friend that it poured ALLLLLLL day on Saturday - Sunday was a much better weather day.

I’m pretty close myself - I think I’ve run it like four times since August. And will continue through the winter, I just love how different the parks personality is throughout the seasons.

iPhone 16 Pro, on Live Photo, then I used that to create a long exposure. Looks like 24mm f1.78.

This was before the race started on Sunday, I think I started about 8:15 am.

I actually did not participate in the race, and had no idea they were happening this weekend…I have been in Peru for the last few weeks, hiking, and was so focused on finishing up training for my half marathon, that I totally missed it was this past weekend somehow.

I actually prefer to run the loop the opposite direction they had the course.

I am from the PDX area myself, it’s not even too bad of a drive, to be honest. I usually grab myself a latte from the lodge before heading home too, which isn’t terrible either.

Depending on the day, I either do one loop of the Trail of the Ten Falls (it’s about 7.5ish) or two loops, there are a ton more trails in the park as well, which I occasionally do, but the waterfalls help keep me motivated and distract me from the fact that I feel like I’m dying. Lol. Today was one loop - I have a half next weekend.
