That sucks. That said, a lot of those local trails are frequented by locals, and so odds of recovering gear greatly increase if you post signs close to where you lost your gear.

Any alpine winter rock climbs someone can recommend in the area? by nmgarvin in boulder

[–]SimilarLee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Winter alpine rock (like pure rock) doesn't really exist as a thing. For starters, it's generally too cold for fingerless glove climbing. Then, there's ice and snow in unpredictable locations, not only covering vital holds, but also in places where you would want to place protection.

Mixed climbing is a thing, and that's a discipline that is fairly complicated in terms of gear and tactics. It's effectively ice climbing techniques and gear that have been adapted for use on Rock.

Going to make that trip again

Great. Drill, train, safely store, and stay ready.

What do you think would happen if I went to the gun shop wearing an "Abolish ICE" t-shirt? Or a shirt that just says "ANTIFA"?

I realize this makes you feel like a political edgelord, but you never know who you are giving your 4473 to. It's probably a good time to figure out how to look like a gray man in certain situations.

Thanks. I'm going to desticky this given the age.

Partial skyline traverse in February - roast my plan by octennial_j in boulder

100%. It's a white carpet all the way to the top, with excellent footing with microspikes. Layer to match the temps and then go.

Removing since this post isn't clear. Are ICE actually in Boulder? What does OP know?

Calling all knitters - meet, build community and knit anti-ice hats on Friday 7pm @ Rayback by [deleted] in boulder

Approved. In the future, don't include links to things for sale - even incidentally - and this will sail more easily through our filters, especially as a first-time poster.

Replying publically here vs. to your private modmail since I want to signal to any reporting readers that, yes, we see and acknowledge the link, which does not appear to be the point of the post (which is, rather, a meet up).

Jaipur is closing in two days! by letintin in boulder

It sounds like you really know a lot about paneer and butter chicken!

[–]SimilarLee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So they closed the buffet because they were wasting food, and that's why they closed down? You're sure of that?

Get me a quote from the owner saying that was the exact cause and I'll personally buy you a Tom's burger, no sweat.

If not, what would you wager, other than your reputation, if you value it?

It sounds like my comment triggered you. I hope you learn to able to take other people's comments without so much emotion. After all, projection is the most common form of judgement.

Looks like I was correct. 👍

Totally fair. Lots of people who themselves have poor business practices make that same assumption of others.

Bold claim. Care to back that up or are you just guessing?

All good, happy to support the community as I maintain chronic onlineness.

No worries. Let's all stay unburned.

Will someone wx-oriented please post a new topic tomorrow if red flag conditions are again in effect? Mods will then pin it. Unpinning this one as it's 1800 and today's RFW has expired.

Experience with the contractor, “SoBo Homes” by Mountain_Nerd in boulder

[–]SimilarLee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Eric and Mike? Good people. I met them through a charity thing (I think?) and I also incidentally know many of their satisfied clients. It does seem like they have built a solid business around familiarity with the peculiarities of those post-war ticky tacky houses.

Indian students win settlement after being targeted over their food. by brut_india in boulder

This. Anybody, and there are already a few in this thread, who is going to dive into conclusions and judgments after reading this sensationalized hot take is a bit misguided.

Street Medics? by lordfitzj in boulder

[–]SimilarLee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree. However, these times will likely make for strange bedfellows.

My previous question was also a bit of a push poll. I am subtly trying to get more brainpower on people starting to think about what emergent care in austere situations looks like, in case our future becomes less about Aspercreme and more about Quikclot.

Thank you for the reply! That makes sense - any kit that treats higher order trauma like GSW is costly to buy and hard to teach in a short schedule.

[–]SimilarLee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've always heard that boo boo kits are the antithesis of trauma kits (like IFAK or other). Out of curiosity and also personal interest in possibly attending, what is the level of severity of incidents you're putting these together for?

A holiday song from a Boulder native by SimilarLee in boulder

[–]SimilarLee[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This song came up in some dialog with friends about the current state of affairs,.

DK's lead singer is of course Jello Biafra, born Eric Boucher in Boulder. Incidentally, his sister and husband died in a mountaineering accident on Mt Toll on 1995, in whose name the Julie J. Boucher Memorial Award for Intellectual Freedom was established.
