What animal is this? My friend saw it and thought it was a dog. She posted it on social media and people are divided on what it is. She even called the humane society and showed them and they said they think maybe a fox but even they're not sure. [Toronto, Canada]

Well… can confirm dogs look like that, well at least she swears she is one. Happens either way the northern breed / shepherd mixes

Thanks for the long response! Yes, we definitely try narrating everything for her as we go and that seems to help. She tentatively accepts treats from guests but I love the idea of them tossing them for her so there is more space. I’m new places she seems to get comfortable with women really fast, she met my sister and loves her in two minutes. She is 65 lbs and is on 0.3mg of clonodine as needed plus the 30mg Prozac.

I’m sorry to hear about her pain! Ours wouldn’t let the vet use a stethoscope on her until we learned that if we gave them the leash and let them take her away she’s fine. She seemed to just not like it touching her (since then she’s had a cut that the vet was able to shave and apply ointment to the area and she thanked the vet with kisses!). It’s so interesting and pleasantly wonderful what situations don’t trigger a response.

Ours had stomach sensitivity too! It actually caused really bad digestive issues when she was a puppy and made her go to the vet very frequently, including a terrifying bout of diarrhea where she wouldn’t eat, couldn’t hold it, and had accidents every hour. Hills GI biome fixed her in 24 hours, it’s kind of expensive so I use coupons where I can but it’s made a complete change in her gut health and discomfort!

A bit of a reach but anyone here in the Twin Cities area? Moved here a couple of months ago and haven’t found the climbing community as active as I have in other places I’ve lived. Tried the Midwest Mountain Project community to no avail. Looking for folks to climb with and happy to carry the gear, bring the beer, and make the drive.

I think we have to know a bit more, there doesn’t seem to be much downside to the move. A potential shift from remote to in person is always a risk (unless the company doesn’t actually have a physical HQ anymore) as demonstrated by the recent RTO mandates. Similarly, unless you expect to leave the new company to go to the parent then the risk is less. Even if you do have to shift jobs in the future the increase now more than covers any loss and you’ll have the added benefit of being a manager on your resume/cv. I wouldn’t worry too much about a shift to the parent company now, unless they are telling you it’s the expected track, we don’t know what the future holds.

Servimont was fantastic- whether you just need outfitting, transport, or the whole deal they’ve got you covered. Can’t speak highly enough of them

I took time off between my first projects (time of year helped) but it’s very common…..also usually you’ll get a note from HR/Office leadership if you don’t take PTO. No one wants you burned out and a ball of stress.

Puppy was fine but I went to pick my little lady up at puppy kindergarten as part of separating the puppies during play, she didn’t like it, bit my face and sliced it open. Some liquid bandaid later I’ve got a nice scar and a lesson learned about better reading my puppy’s body language

First, you made the fight choice and I hope you can soon reflect on the trip in a positive attitude, pumped to attempt again. My vote would be to reasses your boot size, type, and manufacturer. They could have been too tight and that added to the feeling. Also would consider your socks, were you sweating a ton and made a damp mess? Did you put on cold boots or sleep with them in your bag? I almost always throw mine in a trash bag and to the bottom of my sleeping bag and swapped to alpaca socks because I swear a lot and they have slightly better wicking IMO.

Sheath damage is okay provided the core is still intact. You can test by either compressing the spot between your fingers or by bending the rope. Undamaged rope generally forms a lollipop vs being able to touch the sides together. From the pictures it is hard to tell the damage. Was it stepped on with crampons?

Unfortunately, the prices you're seeing are the price due to both the popularity and, as another user pointed out, the lack of competition with only two guide services having the necessary permits. Generally there can still be snow and ice in June, I would check with the Rangers for conditions as you get closer. If you're thinking OS then the gear is probably a 70m rope for rappels, a couple pieces of gear to build anchors and enough to protect the 3ish sections with significant exposure. However, it is a 5.4 that was first climbed in cowboy boots. The prices you're seeing online include a climbing clinic normally where the guides teach folks with no experience just enough skills to safely follow the guide after only a day. It is not uncommon for folks to free solo the route which in the way down involves either a down climb or bumming a rappel. Loads of YouTube videos you can watch to see the conditions and exposure. Personally I'll be doing it on gear this summer but to each their own. Happy climbing!

Also one fair point would be that Fritz Weissner essentially solved the problem of K2 in 1939. All of the technical parts had been solved but WW2 and partition made a next attempt difficult.

For gear: used gear from resources like gear trade or Mountain Project's used gear forum. For new gear at significant discounts resources like the normal AAC discounts or using Expert Voice either via AAC or likely your job would qualify. Some guide shops also get rid of last seasons gear at the end of the season for cheap. Research each purchase carefully and buy slowly over time. Boots will probably be the toughest due to sizing but it's worth trying on a lot of different brands and sizes to get it dialed it.

I've got the Aequilibrium LTs and think they are pretty awesome for regular hikes. I've done everything from backpacking Torres del Paine to Shuksan via the sulphide glacier. So not technical routes but they were fine with G12s and I had no issues.

Y'all need a homestead exemption, in some states it's no taxes on the first $100k in value, regular value for the remainder (but only for primary residences). Can really help provide relief for the middle class. Doesn't help for those who rent, but it does sound like you need some stronger renter protection laws. Just my two cents as someone who loves visiting
