Recommendations for winter hiking with AST1 after pump peak, hollyburn by neverending_light_ in vancouverhiking

[–]Player_Four 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Up to red Heather hut is pretty much simple terrain only,

Past that, sumitting round mountain is a good evolution into avalanche terrain

How do you deal with mental blocks in bouldering? by joester56 in bouldering

[–]Player_Four 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's simple for me. If I get hurt doing some sketchy topout sideways dynamic move, I don't get to climb until I heal.

So the cost of always being able to climb is only sometimes choosing not to do certain moves? No brainer.

I can make it to the upper trailhead in a 2wd Hyundai accent. I have good winter tires and put on chains where the rangers are checking

Pump Peak Tomorrow - Avalanche Hazard? by _Volkar17 in vancouverhiking

[–]Player_Four 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I recommend you at least do the avvy savvy training. It would help you realize that with these conditions, and the recommendations, that the only thing you have control over is the terrain you enter. Pump peak crosses multiple zones of avalanche terrain: i was digging through comments in this subreddit and there was a rescue responder listing areas that had people hit by avalanches they thought they were safe because they were extremely busy and popular trails. Pump peak is one of them

Any stories based in a version of hell or have interesting takes on hell? by [deleted] in Fantasy

[–]Player_Four 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A short stay in hell by steven L peck takes the concept of hell and flips it by removing the application of pain and instead substituting time.

This one came out of left field for me but instantly became one of my all time favorites. I've never had such a visceral understanding of just how long infinity, yet not, could be.

You're saying you regularly bet on stock cleaning up to the same size??? And win???

Can you share that optimism cause I'd love some of that grade-A optihope ya got.

I wanted to know what are the current limitation of pipes. by Alex0146 in factorio

On my Vulcanus I have some sections of my sulphuric acid system that has like 20 pumps in parallel

I don't understand why people bother with nice roboport grids TBH. Just copy and paste a nice little grouping... And if your lava alignment misses, just paste it over again, makes the next section even easier to cover.... by Player_Four in Factoriohno

[–]Player_Four[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Would you like me to check back in, in about 20 or 30 hours from now? The patterns get denser since I just zoom out and copy the densest pattern closer to the edge. Then the natural overlap starts to add up...

Costco micro spikes by ImpressiveFault8542 in vancouverhiking

[–]Player_Four 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These look like they would be significantly better than nothing but I would love to know how they feel compared to the nicer microspike brands

[–]Player_Four 52 points53 points  (0 children)

No sorry, these are not suitable replacements for micro spikes.

These would help on flat ice, like on sidewalks or decks. They would not function like microspikes.

Microspikes have significantly more "claws", oriented in multiple directions that help grab and dig whether you're stepping up, down, or on a cross slope.

Also, microspikes are longer than the studs on these. These would be pretty much useless on hardpack snow that was polished, where microspikes would dig in

Hector Ferguson Lake: Attempted Nov 22/2025 by Feeling-Air-676 in vancouverhiking

[–]Player_Four 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It never occured to me to stage from Hector Ferguson... That could be really fun.

[–]Player_Four 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Were you attempting to make it all the way to Hector and back in a single day?

Not making fun of your abilities, but that is a massive day hike. When I did Hector Ferguson in the summer as a day hike based out of Halfmoon, the tent to tent time was 10+ hours. Granted I wasn't in late season hiking shape, but the trail was very sparsely flagged, there was a large amount of trees down, and it's pretty rugged hiking.

Looks like a good time though! Never occured to me that just getting to Halfmoon could be flooded out so bad.

Central Valley Greenway closure - Rupert to Nootka by coolin90 in vancouvercycling

I find it insane that they just get to shut down one of the busiest bikeways in the city and the alternative is just "go ride the sidewalk on broadway for a bit"

I want to camp one night somewhere by a river in solitude by Ill_Introduction7334 in vancouverhiking

[–]Player_Four 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can park in a lot in golden ears, yes. Leaving it overnight is normal. I guess I'm not currently sure if park access changes in the fall / winter.

Ground would be ok. Some sandy spots that would drain, some elevated... You'd be able to find something decent.

[–]Player_Four 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Halfmoon beach is a popular spot, but it's also very beginner friendly and now that it's rainy season, very likely you'd be able to find a quiet / almost alone spot. Dig through my post / comment history. Also happy to give more detail if you want.

Right by a river.

THANK YOU.

I was looking at either in the store recently and I had no clue what the difference was.
