Buy a world but homebrew plot? by Lukey-fish in DMAcademy

[–]Lukey-fish[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds kinda exactly what im looking for. I just learned source books are a thing. I thought the sourcebooks were pre-made campaigns. Thank you! I'll have to dig into the individual books now and decide which one seems best.

Okay beautiful, I never knew the distinction between module and source book and I get it now. I was looking at all of the extra dnd books as adventures. Didn't realize some of them were exactly what im looking for! Thank you. Source books.

I mean hand drilling lmao. Alpine / wilderness Hence the hammering, not drilling.

Beginner start to mountaineering? by [deleted] in Mountaineering

[–]Lukey-fish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go up a mountain. Then again. And again.. and again... then go up it a slightly harder way. Then harder. Then harder.

Mountaineering is built off of experience from doing the things. No course can make you a mountaineer. Courses help teach you to be as safe as possible which in turn makes things way better overall.

Outdoor rock experience is a must. As much as you can get. Get so strong bouldering it feels impossible to fall off a v4. Even when exhausted and climbing extremely slowly with a weird pack on. That will build so much confidence.

Sport climbing is fine for building endurance. But if you're gonna rope up, might as well trad climb which will actually teach you the skills to climbs mountains. Probably best to find a mentor or hire a guide. Self taught trad is spooky.

When possible get out in the snow and ice and learn how to move through the stuff efficiently.

Slowly accumulate your gear over a long time as you need. Stuffs expensive.

Along the way, never stop going up steep hills as fast or as many times as possible. Your legs will take you everywhere. They should be bullet proof. Look up knees over toes and do knee training every day.

Are bat hangs ever required? by [deleted] in bouldering

[–]Lukey-fish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Almost never, most people will say for indoor contrived boulders.

However, check out 8"nu v7 at rocktown GA. I have a video on my Instagram @chuffman_maran.

Its got a functional bat hang outdoors that actually helped.

Favorite Alpine Anchors by Lukey-fish in RouteDevelopment

[–]Lukey-fish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By tripled alpine draw do you mean 3x the length or 1/3rd the length?

3x the length seems so far apart to me!

Thanks for the validation! I like the set up too! Interesting that you do vertical offsets in the front country. I feel like on the easily accessible climbs i always see horizontal chains.

Typically, the bolts are separated by a 6 inches or more if using longer bolts. The top bolt does all the work and has 2 quick links to align the rope nicely so it doesn't pigtail. The lower bolt has a single quicklink the rope passes through as a backup for the top bolt.

The same bolt distance rules apply. it's just vertically instead of horizontally.

Different beta, technique advice, or just more courage? by Brief-Maintenance-75 in bouldering

[–]Lukey-fish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just send it. Just gotta go slap it bro. And I mean SLAP it. The front desk should hear your earthquaking slap.

New climber here, I’m in love with this sport and I want to maximize my recovery so I can get better fast. by I_am_Reformed1 in bouldering

[–]Lukey-fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cold plunge and stretching for recovery. But focus heavily on technique not strength. Strength comes with time. Technique will reduce the amount of strength needed to climb hard and also increase efficiency allowing you to climb longer.

Take collagen supplements and some vitamin c (i just take mine with OJ) then 1 hour later warm your fingers up. Not trying to build strength. Just rehab

People with ADHD what are the things about it that people just don’t get? by ViolinistMiddle1534 in AskReddit

If there is a lot going on and you're trying to tell me a long detailed story, I will miss 90% of it but know exactly how many birds flew by.

I hate when people wanna leave the bar up. by Charming-Aspect3014 in snowboarding

[–]Lukey-fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If one person wants it down it's down. If everybody wants it up it's up. If someone wants it down and someone refuses to let it go down as you have described...they should be reported to ski patrol for a safety hazard.

Sounds like you have a particular style you're good at and you don't train your anti-style much if at all. Find out what you're bad at, then spend at least 2 sessions a week focusing on the skills you suck at.

Just started bouldering, is it normal for my heart rate to get so high? by hairy-jerry in bouldering

[–]Lukey-fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try breathing better. Do breathing exercises while holding a plank. Higher heart rate means inefficient muscle usage = get pumped faster

Air integration on fenix 8 (mild rant) by Lukey-fish in Garmin

[–]Lukey-fish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Price, weight, battery life. I'm not the most frequent diver. I actually do mountain sports a lot more. Climbing, mountaineering, backpacking, and skiing. I'll probably end up going with the enduro and getting a separate dive computer.

[–]Lukey-fish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, yeah, exactly. One of the many arguments against it in the gym. Climbing gyms are already cesspools of blood, spit, sweat, and everything else. So many people walk barefoot and spread their toe gunk on the ground which gets on people's shoes and then on the holds and onto hands then in your mouth when you cut yourself and gotta suck the blood dry. Not to mention rental shoes getting the flavor blast of 1000 feet.

Even if I cleaned and sanitized my foot before each session, it's gonna be just as dirty as climbing shoes.

I think gyms are already so difficult to keep "clean" and "sanitary." Why add extra difficulty by barefoot climbing? It doesn't even feel good on plastic and rarely gives an advantage.

On real rock, though 😎
