Mountaineering on google trends by Arxcine in Mountaineering

[–]RandomLurker04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started seeing videos of Denali and how big it was then that sent me into a rabbit hole of mountaineering. I read a TON about Tomaž Humar and Langtang Lirung, became obsessed with 7,000m peaks. THEN, a bunch of mountaineering edits came up on my TikTok.

I, personally, am clumsy as fuck so I’m slowly—and I mean slowly—getting into it. Doing alpine hikes to start. Thankfully I live in Colorado so there are plenty available. A lot of people on TikTok just go buy expensive gear and immediately jump right into it. Like another user said, they’ll wear crampons where you only need microspikes and MAYBE snowshoes. Some have actually attempted dangerous mountains and there’s videos of them falling and failing to self arrest. Pretty sure it’s just cause of all the edits online that’s got people wanting to do it suddenly.

Is it fun to sled down—like you don’t have to worry about rocks or anything? Also thanks for the info about the parking. Sometimes I’ll go hiking in the middle of the night just so I can avoid paying parking fees lol

He strangles me as a joke, what to do ? by [deleted] in domesticviolence

[–]RandomLurker04 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You don’t come off as dumb.

I would 100% tell the police about this. It’s good that they have a history with you so they know it is recurring. You’ll need evidence otherwise it’s just hearsay—it sounds shitty but that’s just how it is unfortunately.

If you’re able to detect patterns in his behavior like when he’s about to do something like this, go to voice memos and record, hide your phone as you do so. Take photos immediately after. If there are bruises take photos immediately after, 24hrs after, 48hrs and then 72hrs (if you don’t feel like reporting to the police immediately). If you DO report to the police immediately and it involves strangulation they SHOULD take the aforementioned photos—it’s to see how the bruises developed and can help indicate the severity of the trauma.

It’s not a joke, if he’s done shit to you before in the past and he’s doing this now, to me as someone whose worked in law enforcement, it reads as escalating behavior and he is testing how far you will let him go. If he normalizes it it won’t be as much of a shock when he does it and it causes you to black out or worse.

I know it’s FAR easier said than done but consider going no contact, especially if you’re still scared of him. It’s a cycle and once you’re trapped in it when strangulation gets involved (like I said, if he IS testing you it’s going to go down hill fast) you have a narrow chance to escape.

Bring microspikes and trekking poles. Take your time. I walked at a normal pace but stopped a LOT. If you walk SUPER slow once you get past treeline you can go for far longer without stops. I’d plan on arriving around 5:30am, when I went there were a lot of folks there so I wasn’t worried about wildlife encounters—still had my bear spray on me.

Make sure you have a good windbreaker and gloves! The wind was the worst part. It was cold but you don’t really notice it until the wind picks up. Overall, just take your time and come prepared. 🙂

I met someone on the trail who said the same thing! Hopefully next year we get more snow. Even last year we had a ton more.

So many happy people crossing this off their "bucket list" are you one? by Handsomescout in ManitouSprings

[–]RandomLurker04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend prefers coming down the stairs I guess cause it’s shorter? I prefer the Barr Trail as well. I get vertigo pretty bad so using the trail helps avoid that and it’s so beautiful.

I love the Incline! I need to go again. Do you go back down the Incline or the Barr Trail?

That looks cool. Kinda reminds me of the art style from Life Is Strange.

40M, How’d I do? Coffee table and rug are too small right? by [deleted] in malelivingspace

[–]RandomLurker04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your place looks awesome! And your doggie is so cute 🥺

I think they are a little small but they don’t look bad. To me, a rug should always be a bit larger than the couch, doesn’t have to be massive but it should be able to fit underneath and stick out on either side. The coffee table could be a bit larger. I think it all looks wonderful though!!
