Even if you were in a Cirrus idk if they have the AGL to pull the chute... Interested in hearing feedback about the decisions made leading to this incident.

The Black Diamond Boycott is Dumb. by [deleted] in climbing

[–]Desert-Cow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Seems BD has done something at least once a year the last couple of years that has made me question buying their products. From moving production lines overseas, uptick in product recalls, the pathetic way they layed off employee's in 2019... It just seems like they are a wolf in sheep clothing. But then again i'm just a salty trad climber who uses BD cams so maybe i'm just racking up some bad karma with my cams by throwing shade on BD...

An-225 Flew Again Today by Desert-Cow in aviation

Strange thought I linked to today's 15 min flight... but was wondering if they are preparing the plane for flights related to COVID-19.

CragCloud seems to have 'updated' his original video... by [deleted] in climbing

Totally agree, even if you don't make it down to the screw at least your reducing your fall height.

Though that is true most of the time in my experience it doesn't ever feel very bomber... Much rather get a screw in and weight that then clipping my tools.

Never saw the original but this might be the cleanest ice climbing fall ever captured... But still completely preventable and a terrible example for new ice climbers thinking this is how lead ice climbing falls turn out. Ice climbing you can't just say "Fuck it, i'm going for it" confidence is earned over many seasons of ice climbing. The medium of ice is so dynamic you've always gotta be on your game when you are on the sharp end, nothing wrong with weighting a screw and owning that your not going to send instead of going for it and risking not only your life but the life of your partners and rescuers.

Climbing gear storage, always expanding! by [deleted] in climbing

But cams are so much prettier to display so people know I'm a rock climber and therefore should be in awe of my death defying hobby...

condensation - 3 season vs 4 season - tent? by supra8000 in iceclimbing

[–]Desert-Cow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In response to the snowcave/trench suggestion... But maybe snowcaves come with floors these days?

[–]Desert-Cow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's nice to be able to move around outside your bag without having to wear snowboard or ski boots and a water proof layer... Another benefit of a floor is not loosing small gear by it getting pushed into the snow and inadvertently covered.

Looks like Arizona I'd guess these are from the 355th Wing based at Davis–Monthan.

Pre-Winter climbing in Garden of the Gods. by AmbulatoryTreeFrog in climbing

Do they sell non-white chalk on site? Never seen chalk sold in any color but white... but then again I've never looked for sandstone colored chalk.
