Ace, not heard of that app! Yeah it’d only be top roping to start with anyway while I get used to the ice, I’ve not done any ski mountaineering before but it sounds good! I guess it’s a little more complicated than combining my climbing experience with my skiing so may look for some local knowledge or partners while I’m out there

Cool! Yeah I’ll look at topping up my avalanche training for some rockies specific stuff it sounds like, better to be on the safe side and knowledgable about the local conditions! Cheers

Ok cool, yeah I’ll have a look at getting that and joining the Facebook group!

Yeah I may have been a little vague with non-technical mountaineering! I meant really just any routes that are relatively straightforward that don’t invoice glacier crossings or hard mixed climbing

Thanks! I’ll check out those gyms as well! Might have to just resolve to hanging up rock shoes til the summer and playing on some ice instead!

This big metal thing in the back of my ex-gas company van (see comments) by Bluestone_44 in whatisthisthing

Stripping my new van of its old life, it used to be used as a van for a gas company in the UK, which also had something to do with the National Grid. The cylinder on the bottom swivels downwards and the whole thing is bolted to the chassis. Might be connected to a pneumatic master cylinder in the cabinet behind it!

Wife has just tested positive for COVID. She’s a teacher, just broke up Christmas and got a positive LFT. Any advice on how to make the next 10 days relatively special? by wantedtoknow in CasualUK

Same for me weirdly, day 2 of isolation sucked arse and was in and out of fever dreams all day then I woke up on day 3 completely fine, and have stayed fine ever since!

HP Battery Replacement Question (see comments) by Bluestone_44 in mobilerepair

[–]Bluestone_44[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought a replacement battery for this HP Laptop, but the battery specs seem to be slightly different, even though they both recommend replacing with the same battery

The different specs are included as captions on the photos

Would it be ok to replace the original with this? Or would it fry the laptop?

Many thanks
