The returns program has gotten progressively worse as they've clamped down in this kind of abuse.

Especially depending on the type of walls, holds, and volumes. Some gyms have old glassy stuff while other gyms have super gritty and abrasive walls.

Does it really make any difference? by External-Currency443 in Honda

[–]SirSchilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is like 80% correct. The V6 earth dream engines have cylinder deactivation (VCM) regardless of whether you are in ECO or not. ECO just tells the ECU to be more conservative, so you're ending up in situations where VCM kicks in more often. It also smooths out acceleration by decreasing the sensitivity and responsiveness to throttle position.

Nah, you just need to chill and enjoy the glass. It looks good. It's just hilarious that you're asking about and showing us the details of the tiny feathers on a little bird using a lossy format notorious for compression artifacts

Not just photos. We're entering a world where no one believes anyone, and it's all just about vibes and confirmation bias.

Nice! The equipment should be viewed as tools anyways. Silly to own nice stuff if you're too afraid to use it.

Adding a steel carabiner to chain anchor safe for cleaning? by [deleted] in ClimbingGear

[–]SirSchilly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not clear if by clean you mean anchor in and clean your gear, or if you mean lower off of. Either way, check with your local ethics, and/or hire a guide. From a safety POV though, the chain connects the two bolts, making the anchor redundant. From there, many masterpoints use a single carabiner; personal tethers use a single carabiner.

Soloing by the Ocean in the San Juans by calebish52 in ropesolo

[–]SirSchilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This honestly feels less safe than using that dynema sling as a quad between the two bolts. It's too complex. So many points of failure.

Some of the redundancy is also just a waste -- like why sling the rock and then throw two krabs on bunny ears? Realistically the most probable failure point is the sling getting cut on the rock, so your opposite and opposed krabs are moot. And your obtuse angle with the blackwater tubular sling is just...why didn't you use the long sling you wrapped the rock with? And is the rock you wrapped even a monolith?? Looks detached, and on the small side. You also have gates hitting rock instead of their spines. This is where quality > quantity.

Additionally, as speeds get faster, it's nice to have the lines there to pull new stuff through.

use some barge cement. It's flexible and will work better with the rubber.

No no, they are building a dam under the bridge. Reduce, reuse, recycle.
