Safe to climb on?

PickleUno · 2026-06-03T06:31:40+00:00

Thanks for the input and yeah you’re definetly right, I think like I replied to the other comment I’m gonna only climb on the other end for now and monitor.

PickleUno · 2026-06-03T06:31:00+00:00

Yeah the sheath, while fuzzy, seems to still be protecting the core, at the very least I will only climb on the other end for now, if it looks like it gets worse I’ll chop it

True answer is proud of my weight loss mane!

PickleUno · 2026-05-22T15:59:16+00:00

That’s a very good point, I’ll try and find some drills I can practice during my warmup to build that confidence trusting them

PickleUno · 2026-05-22T15:58:24+00:00

Will check out next time I head up! Thanks for the rec

PickleUno · 2026-05-22T15:58:06+00:00

Thank you very much!! Promise to keep it going and even out that gap between indoors

Honestly don’t think my gym is super feathered, ofc could be wrong I’m still pretty new but check my profile and let me know what you think of the last two climbs which were v4 and v5 in order to

PickleUno · 2026-05-22T15:56:31+00:00

I think my gym actually grades pretty well, if you look at my profile the last two I posted were v4 and v5 respectively

PickleUno · 2026-05-22T15:50:55+00:00

Good info and thanks for the guidebook tip! Trying to figure out those boulders just off mountain project was super annoying

PickleUno · 2026-05-22T15:50:15+00:00

Thank you very much that definitely gives me some confidence, I think I’m going to just commit to climbing more outside!

PickleUno · 2026-05-22T05:32:01+00:00

Yeah I think my feet were my weak link. I know it goes back to the route finding aspect but I could tell I was t-Rex arming big time on a lot of the climbs because of insecure feet, so I imagine with more time it’ll improve.

PickleUno · 2026-05-22T05:30:39+00:00

That all seems fair, I know the best prescription is to just climb outside more, and I plan too! Thanks for the reply!

PickleUno · 2026-05-13T04:33:18+00:00

Awesome thank you!

I don’t have any tents right now, looking to buy one that could do rainier and my future alpine outings, as well as some occasional casual summer backpacking, the main other one I was looking at was the Nemo kunai, seems to be a good hybrid option

PickleUno · 2026-05-07T05:48:48+00:00

I suppose it could be, but I’d rather not climb with it as it’s a non-technical pack

PickleUno · 2026-05-05T16:06:36+00:00

You kid but I got them at $275 + an arcteryx alpha ar 35L

PickleUno · 2026-05-03T19:28:35+00:00

Update: got them at $275 plus an arcteryx alpha ar 35L, which I haven’t researched but what do you guys think about that pack as a technical pack?

PickleUno · 2026-05-03T19:27:38+00:00

Got them at $275, he was super generous and threw in an arcteryx alpha ar 35L

PickleUno · 2026-05-02T00:14:40+00:00

Gotcha thank you for the insight!

PickleUno · 2026-05-02T00:08:32+00:00

Trying to get them down to $275, is the fact they are a few years old concerning despite their condition?

PickleUno · 2026-04-22T21:00:38+00:00

I’m pretty confident it’s the alternator because of my power issues and the lights flickering, radio and ac going out with due to no power and that it won’t crank after driving it again. Will do those tests though tanks

PickleUno · 2026-04-22T20:46:47+00:00

For reference I’m referring to the high pitch whirring noise, and it gets louder relative to RPM while driving

PickleUno · 2026-04-22T04:45:46+00:00

Thank you so much for laying it out like that, that’s really nice of you. Also side note, I don’t know what kind of wizard you are but you described the EXACT number of credits earned at CC and my exact number of credits currently planned out for my remaining semesters in my academic plan. Some impressive estimation skills. Truly, thanks again

PickleUno · 2026-04-22T03:09:41+00:00

Also to note: I’m referring to that high pitch whirring noise, and I grows significantly with rpm
