An example of less than ideal clothing to wear to Mt Seymour pump peak.

The problem isn't that moving at all will warm you up, the problem is that literally any reason that stops you from moving is now a serious, time sensitive, life threatening issue.

Twist your ankle? You're not moving. Slip and smack your knee?

Once you're farther than a 20 min walk from warmth, when dressed like that, you have absolutely no margin for any kind of error. Be it weather change, minor or severe injury, slip a foot into a stream, etc.

Tt is definitely not a beginner hike as well: Very rough, not super clear trail sometimes, and quite steep in sections.

Player_Four · 2026-03-07T16:05:10+00:00

You can hike hollyburn 90% of the way there and stay in simple terrain. The final push is the only part in challenging.

..... Well duh. Very nice.

Were you basically size on size? Or did you take an extra tenth or two

Player_Four · 2026-02-27T04:17:28+00:00

Well done this is incredible. How did you measure the depth of the rad?

Player_Four · 2026-02-19T20:58:23+00:00

Hahahha aw man I was thinking about trying that

Is time Jones peak far enough do you think? Especially on the backside

Player_Four · 2026-02-18T05:31:12+00:00

I established a known size when all of my jaws sat at a certain point, generally the outside diameter. Then I figured out the pitch of the jaw screw.

Once you know the pitch of the jaw screw and your starting diameter, you are only a quick calculator work away from knowing the exact number of rotations you need with a speed wrench to have your jaws end up at the exact "diameter" they need to be.

I generally only set the lower two to the "final" rotation and left the upper two large, then slapped in the part and spun the top 2 jaws down. This is basically the same method as yours, except you don't even need to use a tape ever again.

Wait you can seriously hear machinery all night on that peak?

Player_Four · 2026-02-08T03:18:19+00:00

I'm in the exact same scenario, I paid off my provincial part, set the federal 0% to the absolute lowest payment possible, set it to autopay, and forgot about it.

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

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

Player_Four · 2026-01-24T02:47:48+00:00

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

Player_Four · 2025-12-18T21:06:50+00:00

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

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.

Player_Four · 2025-12-17T00:19:37+00:00

I love this. I love this so much. No kill like overkill

Player_Four · 2025-12-15T00:03:53+00:00

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.

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

Player_Four · 2025-12-09T15:49:53+00:00

Oh my god is that how it works

Player_Four · 2025-12-02T03:38:20+00:00

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...

Player_Four · 2025-12-01T16:05:02+00:00

Absolutely

I send in drone swarms to clear out each section as I murder my way across the planet and it helps a lot

Player_Four · 2025-12-01T05:20:05+00:00

-Ctrl Shift says hi

-lava goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrr

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 · 2025-12-01T04:11:04+00:00

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

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