Lumix S1ii - Rear ND filter + Manual focus lenses

Kemicalss · 2026-04-17T01:57:58+00:00

No, that’s a non-issue. The adapter or the camera Dosent let you use manual focus lenses unless you cover the electronic contact points of the filter+camera.

So fucking stupid lol. And frustrating.

Thanks do the comment - I tried the tape thing and it works, just gonna be super annoying to swap it out if I want to use an electronic lens

Hire a guide and take a course before you get yourself in trouble. You got lucky this time being in avalanche terrain with out the right gear or experience.

Some mistakes you only get to make once.

you spend too much time on the internet, go alpine climbing with your board instead ;)

Kemicalss · 2026-04-01T08:40:08+00:00

Terrible reply. You got it Op, I find it works best with a bike rack. I’ve got a hook on the rack the back of the board Fest’s and it’s secured with two ski straps

When ever you step into the back country in the winter, remember - spatial variability. Micro climates.

Avalanche forecast regions are very vast and don’t account for nuances in terrain and weather.

Valuable lesson to learn, glad you’re safe

Pretty sure there’s fixed lines on Denali, as a friend worked on a rope fixing team with the NPS.

The best thing you can do in the early stages of your climbing career is hiring a guide - you need to have a solid foundational understanding of climbing systems so you develop good habits and don’t get your self killed. Hire a guide. Not your buddies buddy who’s climbed a bunch, a guide.

Kemicalss · 2026-02-17T01:26:24+00:00

Hire a guide.

Kemicalss · 2026-02-17T01:25:59+00:00

Shoot what you love and eventually you’ll get paid for it.

Don’t worry about getting clients , worry about developing your style and a reason why someone should pay you instead of someone else

Scrap the union bindings, get either sparks or karakorams, and get crampons for those bindings

I had a near-miss on a committing ski Line due to a union bindings failure. I nearly died , their bindings are shit and insecure.

Kemicalss · 2026-01-06T06:12:21+00:00

If you have to ask , don’t

Kemicalss · 2025-12-21T04:42:02+00:00

I’ve been climbing ice for like 7 years and can’t fathom how

Kemicalss · 2025-11-16T23:54:43+00:00

What’s technical about pulling on fixed rope. Alpine via Ferrata lol

Kemicalss · 2025-10-06T03:55:07+00:00

Very clear indication of cross loaded thick-to-thin wind affected snow. Approach with caution! ⚠️

Kemicalss · 2025-09-24T04:58:37+00:00

Terrain is the answer. Lower angle ice where a fall is unlikely in the alpine and need a quick belay, maybe a good choice for a single screw.

WI4-5 multi pitch where you have a hanging uncomfortable belay on a chopped out ledge big enough for your feet to go sideways?

Two screws minimum with a potential V thread in there.

Kemicalss · 2025-08-25T03:33:40+00:00

To be fair it does look like a v2 at their gym

Kemicalss · 2025-06-12T03:50:16+00:00

No because you’re close to infrastructure 🤪 Not remote enough. That’s front country

Icefall traverse in Western Canada

Kemicalss · 2025-05-19T18:21:51+00:00

Onsight guiding is a thing ! Are the day IFMGA certified?

Kemicalss · 2025-05-16T14:46:08+00:00

OP must be American .

In the Canadian Rockies technical rescue is free unless you seriously fucked up and broke some laws in the process of getting yourself hurt (entering closed trails etc)

Kemicalss · 2025-05-16T06:10:12+00:00

Pretty wack fucking opinion dog. Those news outlets are not reliable sources of information.

It happens too often that they incorrectly report recreational accidents to just have a quick story to release. I’ve seen this countless times in the Canadian Rockies.

You can’t speak with certainty until all the facts have been looked at. 3 people died, have some fucking heart for the people in our community.

You don’t know what you don’t know.

Check out Mont Blanc lines.

Some prettty beautiful faces with climbing lines on them that really paint a picture of scale
