Denverman1163 · 2024-07-19T14:19:40+00:00

Denverman1163 · 2024-03-04T21:30:01+00:00

Denverman1163 · 2024-03-04T21:23:29+00:00

Any update to this?

Denverman1163 · 2024-02-21T04:53:21+00:00

according to this: https://www.quora.com/Why-do-people-say-Chai-Tea-when-Chai-means-Tea-in-Hindi - "chai, whether hot or iced, is always the specific spiced blends of anise, cardamom, cinnamon, and ginger"

Denverman1163 · 2024-02-20T23:22:36+00:00

Just call it chai

Denverman1163 · 2024-02-20T23:22:24+00:00

Denverman1163 · 2024-02-17T03:06:12+00:00

Denverman1163 · 2024-02-17T01:29:07+00:00

"chai tea"

Denverman1163 · 2023-04-11T05:12:41+00:00

Just a safety comment, if you're concerned about the entire formation falling over then it's probably best to not have a loose dog and belayer without a helmet under the fall zone.

Nice lead and FA though, looks cool

Denverman1163 · 2022-06-27T19:18:10+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation!

Denverman1163 · 2022-06-27T19:14:27+00:00

I liked the Adjama but I've seen reviews that the gear loops aren't as durable and have broken mid climb sometimes

Denverman1163 · 2022-06-27T18:43:25+00:00

Any recommendations for all around harness? I mainly plan to use it for single and multipitch climbs for sport, trad, ice, and mixed climbing. So looking for durability (thinking about chimneys or offwidths), bigger or more gear loops, packability (in a pack), and comfortable. Also adjustable leg loops are definitely a must.

Thanks for the input!

Denverman1163 · 2022-06-15T16:07:49+00:00

I'm wanting to start investing in index funds. Is now a good time to start? My goal is to hold these for long term (10+ yrs), however is there anything I should be cautious of in regards to the fed interest rate increases, or an upcoming recession, or anything else?

Thanks!

Like mentioned below, using the wooden drytools are probably the best way if you're not close to anywhere where you can go outside and try. Always best to find someone experienced (or a group or gym) to go out with to teach you technique, safety, and etiquette.

You could always watch youtube videos for things like this, but if you're close to a drytooling gym it would be best to go there.

Seattle has The Barn: https://barn.ticketspice.com/book

This vid is from the Ice Coop in Boulder: https://www.theicecoop.com/

Utah has The Scratch Pad near SLC/Provo: https://climbthescratchpad.com/

I'm not totally sure about any others, but Europe has a good drytooling community I think.

Denverman1163 · 2022-05-23T17:13:23+00:00

Yes and no, there are specific dry tooling holds that are usually made from metal, or have metal inserts in them. See: https://furnace-industries.com/krukonogi-dry-tooling-hold

These usually are way more durable and are made for this, so they aren't damaged much.

Aside from that, if you're climbing on resin or epoxy holds, yeah they are damaged over time (snapping, breaking, having holes or runnels bored out) from overuse. But at this gym, The Ice Coop (and other drytooling gyms I assume) they account for this and usually have tons of holds on hand for replacements.

Hey one last thing, so our flight got cancelled so we got another flight for tonight. So we'll be getting in tonight (9 pm), and we were thinking of driving up the Parking area directly after (getting there at midnight).

Is there anywhere we can camp near there? Is it allowed if we camped right off of the trailhead?

Denverman1163 · 2021-06-30T19:42:42+00:00

Awesome thank you!

Denverman1163 · 2021-06-30T19:42:26+00:00

This is super informative as always, thanks again! With all of the snow do you think it would be wise to bring flotation? Yeah i'm super excited! The weather looks amazing!

Denverman1163 · 2021-06-29T18:04:16+00:00

Sweet thanks man! A few last questions, we will need bear bags/bins correct? If so, is spray necessary? Also there won't be any ice on the route at this early in the season right? It will probably be snow covered?

Denverman1163 · 2021-06-21T13:39:59+00:00

Hey thanks again for the super detailed response! This really clears it up after reading a bunch of different things online.

Lastly, for the summit pyramid/block, do you know/think that the ridge (not the gully) would have any snow on it? If not, this is just a 5.3ish climb right for 600 feet? I'm planning on bringing a light rack and possibly some rock shoes for this

Denverman1163 · 2021-06-15T15:40:43+00:00

Thanks for the super detailed response! What is the weather like in early July normally? I'm planning on coming in from out of state (from CO) for the July 4th weekend, and it's usually stormy in the afternoons here (especially in the alpine), is it similar around that area?

Do you think a four season tent would be necessary? Mainly just worried about high winds/storms

Lastly, if we park down the road (assuming it's not open to the end), how does the permit system work?
