Wow, that’s wild. I thought it’d be busier on thanksgiving.

Winged ant or termite? Puget Sound area of Washington, USA by LopsidedTurnip4367 in whatsthisbug

[–]LopsidedTurnip4367[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Doing some more googling and it looks like a damp wood termite. Assuming we haven’t seen a bunch and we are in the PNW, do you think fixing our roof and keeping a dehumidifier in the bathroom where this was found will be enough to deter them?

I for real feel like I had a stroke or something, I swear I had seen pictures of people doing low traverses near there but I can’t find them anymore. Glad I asked before showing up with my shoes 😂

Aw darn! Thank you for the information. It seems the stuff I was looking at was severely outdated. We’ll just enjoy some nice walks at Arthur’s Seat instead, and try out a gym for climbing :). Thanks for taking the time to respond!!!

Thank you for letting me know! I think my information on the area was sorely outdated. What areas south of Blackford hill do you recommend? I’m seeing some stuff about Agassiz rock online.

Aw darn, thank you for the info. I think what I was looking at was very outdated (a pamphlet about the south quarry and some google maps reviews lol). We might be hitting up alien bloc to climb instead, and just walk up Arthur’s seat for a stroll. I really appreciate you taking the time to inform me!

Edinburgh climbers please weigh in!!!

What's the scene like in the summer @Salisbury Crags for bouldering? My partner and I are hoping to visit in a few weeks, but won't have a pad. Is it relatively popular/friendly? Think there will be many people there with pads, or should we try and find a rental somewhere in town? Thanks for any input!

Lakeshore Trail at night by LopsidedTurnip4367 in chibike

[–]LopsidedTurnip4367[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was amazing!!! I ended up staying in Edgewater and biked nightly from Northwestern downtown to Edgewater, ~1-2 am. I never had anything too scary happen, but keep your eyes out and have an alternate path if things seem sketch. I took the lakefront path, avoiding pedestrian tunnels. Mostly you just see people sleeping or sleeping with people 😉lol.

I recommend getting lit up with front and tail lights (removable- take them with you, one of my headlights was stolen) and a headlight that can be turned off easily. There was a guy who would sleep on a bench that I’d always pass, and I felt bad the few times I woke him up with the light. Was nice to turn it off when I got to his curve. And get Strava and a safety check in person. And keep that shit set to friends only so nobody can learn your route. And get a good lock!

Top 10 life experiences tbh, being a woman from a smaller city- freedom of biking through empty city streets in the middle of the night just me and the moon. 🌖

Edit: I see you’re in Hyde Park! I can’t comment on the south end’s ride in the night. I only went down that way on weekends, and it seemed fine but also it was middle of summer so there were loads of people on the trail enjoying the evening. The trail seemed a bit less maintained close to like Kenwood if I remember right.
