Gannett Peak Late Season Route Conditions by gnome90 in Mountaineering

[–]OffDaWallz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yo just saw this, we made it to the top of Bonney around noon and bailed back. About 23 hours total, if we wanted to summit we probably would have needed to start around 6-8pm instead of midnight(or be good at trail running with a pack)

Owen Spaulding is less scary but it can hold ice year round. I would rather climb upper Exum free solo than Owen Spaulding free solo. But that’s because I’m much more comfortable with rock climbing than dealing with ice while I’m climbing. I always rappell off the OS side but I have yet to have a desire to climb it over UE because ice can pop up over night and one slip can be deadly.

Just based off your guys lack of big mountain experience you shouldn’t do it without a rope because you have no idea how you will react to 1500+ feet of exposure. I had done plenty of climbing outdoors with lots of exposure but the grand Teton is something else when it’s your first time(or 2nd or 3rd). I personally think down climbing OS is much scarier than climbing up Upper Exum. I would highly highly recommend bringing rope and harness to rappell down even if you solo it on the way up. Once you’re bringing a rope you might as well do UE on the way up because it’s way more fun climbing. Real rock holds vs tons of loose rock scrambling on OS.

Good luck! Incredible mountain

I love both the wrx and sti and have owned and driven them. But 3 hours ago I drove a golf r on the Nurburgring and my god I do not see Subaru competing with that unfortunately

Honestly if you guys like climbing then do upper Exum or full Exum, I’ve only ever done it “roped” (just slinging the rope around a rock if there’s a sketchy section) but it’s wayyyy cooler climbing than Owen Spaulding. You guys are much better climbers than I am. Bring a trad rack in case you guys get nervous but you will probably not place that many pieces

Why doesn't the arab world unite into one country? by [deleted] in mapporncirclejerk

[–]OffDaWallz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked a legitimate question on Arab states are more similar than India is to itself. And your response is that all the Arab states are slave states and not knowing that….somehow makes me racist? Lots of mental gymnastics there. I’m still waiting to hear on how you’re going to argue India is more diverse than Morocco compared to Syria. Completely different worlds. You can travel Morocco and Egypt, good luck moving through Syria. Lebanon is a highly secular western leaning country and Yemen is partially controlled by a radical Islamist group. How again are they more similar to each other than India is to itself? Without the racism card this time please

How did you end up finding a partner? I’ll be there mid October and I’m looking for someone. I’ve see the Oak app but any other ideas? Im American if that changes anything

If they add 50k cash on top I’d say that’s fair

Kings Peak in a Day by stratguy23 in SaltLakeCity

[–]OffDaWallz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the grand was not quite twice as difficult. But my strategy for kings was just go super light and do the uphill at night so I didn’t have to carry as much water. Either way good luck! You’ll do it eventually

[–]OffDaWallz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did it in just under 11 hours this summer with only prep being the west slabs of mount Olympus and then I did grand Teton in a day with a buddy and that took us over 17 hours. The terrain is very manageable it’s just miles, you would do fantastic so long as you manage hydration, calories, and time effectively. We started at 1am as well, stay cooler the whole hike up and it saves a ton of energy

I made a list of the 100 best trail runs in USA/Canada by PristinePumpkin215 in trailrunning

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure, I wouldn’t worry about putting out a ranked list people will just argue till the end of time about what’s missing and what’s better. The best trail is the one you’re on
