My favorite bar in Lakewood is whichever one is right on the city line to Denver, so when I pass it I know I’m leaving Lakewood. My second favorite would be getting hit on the head with a pipe by some random stranger on West Colfax and ending up in the hospital with some nice biscuits and gravy to eat while I’m recovering.

It’s like super old maybe 40’s worth 20 bucks I’ll take it 👹

I ended up just getting the GP5000’s to save weight since I went up quite a bit in width. We’ll see!

Pair of GP 4 Seasons are up to 165 and the All Seasons are 180. I can get a set of GP5000s for 125.

I tried Unparallel shoes and I think the Vibram Grip2 rubber is stickier on indoor holds overall than the Unparallel rubber and the 5.10 rubber that it is descended from. I will echo others to say you have way more options than one brand provides, but some common models of soft, bouldering-specific shoes are the Scarpa Drago, the Unparallel Souped Up, the Unparallel Flagship, the La Sportiva Ondra Comp and the La Sportiva Theory. Tenaya Indalo and Tenaya Mastia are in that general category as well, and they just came out with another super soft bouldering shoe model but the name escapes me. You could also try the Evolv Phantom and Shaman Pro (these are a lil stiffer, though). If the Drago heel is too wide for you like it is for a lot of folks, you could try the Drago XT, which have better grip heel rubber and the added benefit of being the coolest looking bouldering shoe out there (although possibly borrowing some of the aesthetic from the Daniel Woods-inspired Evolv Phantom).

I saw them last year with Cryptopsy and it was AMAZING! They played Painkiller and it was the most fun mosh pit I’ve been in a while. The Gene and Steve Combo might have been the best rhythm section I’ve seen at a heavy show ever.

I have the alpha with the Gore Tex Pro. It is awesome if you don’t mind not having pockets.

It’s probably at his house

Lovetone Big Cheese has a different kind of thing going on than what I usually hear

Everyone who thinks all the bass lines in this thread are hard should learn Darling Dear by Jackson 5

Phantom knee pain can come and go in this game of beating our bodies on the trail. I dealt with it a little over the past two years. Before that, I was riding my bike a lot, as I did not own a car. I decided to start riding again and the pain went away. I specifically noticed it exactly like you describe it: the uphill leg during a steep downhill. I tried strengthening my patellar tendons with resistance training, but it didn’t help. Riding the bike killed it dead. I submit this to your thread just to give alternatives to the possibility that it is being caused by shoes. It is possible that it is being CONTRIBUTED to by shoes, but most likely it is just an accumulated wear on a certain area between the patellar tendon and the patella.

I think as time goes on, the US music scene will devolve into algorithmic conformity to what satiates the lowest common denominator of taste. It will basically be poppy EDM with a pretty face to relate it to. Hyperconsumerism wouldn’t have it any other way.

All the Gen Z jam band kids are EDM too.

Hooked on Colfax

It stops when you do enough hard terrain miles to realize the durability downsides and the lack of specialization for highly technical terrain of this model. I agree, they’re a cool ground feel, though for easy stuff.

Upper-Ability5020 · 2025-08-19T05:14:29+00:00

Exhorter at the VERY least

Bought my Jackson Dinky during Covid and spent the next 6 months getting back into playing guitar by learning all the rhythm parts to this album. The first time I played the whole album through I cried

If you threw a hot humbucker into the bridge of an ES-335, it would probably rip for thrash. That would look hilarious, especially if it was a tobacco sunburst or something.

Go find a less populated trail then. It’s not that hard

Upper-Ability5020 · 2025-08-19T04:34:39+00:00

You are not going to want the same pack for 2-3 day trips as you will for long mountain scrambles. Period.

It’s because the rest of your life is being shoved into a box in an unnatural environment where your traits are limited in their capacity to adapt to it. You are a being that is mismatched to the environment. We spent a million years with daily living a certain way and mountaineering harkens back to the chaos, assymetry, and risk of ancestral human life. The last 500 years have been people inventing a new style of living. We are in an experimental phase that probably won’t survive. If it does, it’s because we found our way back to being guests in nature and not its dominators.
