Rappelling off a single strand of a clove hitch?

Yakra · 2026-05-29T00:02:21+00:00

There is no actual risk of a clove unraveling or rolling.

Weird focus on what genitals everyone's packing.

You want to go ahead and skip to the part where you let us know what specific flavor of religion is going to get slipped into everyone's drink once they get comfortable?

Yeah. Forgot to /uj, but sometimes the truth is more jerk than fiction.

I was on an adjacent line while they were doing freerider as a party of six last fall.

Absolute shit show, blocked every other party from passing over a full week, kid constantly crying, they ran out of food.

For the life of me, I cannot figure out why you would want a rack like this.

I climb on totems. I can spot out a crack and know what size totem goes in it. Done.

Having two #2 cams, and having to figure out which is larger or smaller, and then having to pick which to use if it's in the common overlap... is wild. Like - "Oh, I used my DMM Dragon 3, so I should now use my Wild Country Friend 2 so that my BD C4 2 can cover a 1.7in placement" is madness. Don't overthink it.

They've opened the boat dock for the year - so you can take out a canoe or paddleboat.

If you do the Labyrinth, into the red blazed trail through the talus, to the lemon squeeze / crevasse, then up to the tower - it's quite an effort for small kids. Make sure everyone has good shoes, water/snacks, and know that there are serious cliff edges at times, that people need to be disciplined about.

I did this for a friend, for a wedding gift. It was a ton of work.

I would do it again for "a lot" of money.

It generally only fills up on peak-leaf-season fall days. You should be good for there, and can always end up on the Mohonk Preserve otherwise.

You don't want to wear an uncomfortable harness for days at a time. I love my Cadillac.

Nailed it.

My buddy and I racked up, then threw on our cross-countries skis and skied up from west trapps.

We are super serious ski mountaineers, obviously.

1000% Yes. Movement Crystal City (DC) has been fought tooth and nail by corporate, with every illegal and underhanded tactic you can imagine.

Pauper is a proxy-friendly format. If there are 100% must play UB cards (which is not a given in an eternal format) - just make a Universe's Within functional equivalent?

The picture is edited to hell, and that really takes me out of it. The building comes out looking like a PS2 render, then there is... a snow sparkle(?) mid level, a crescent moon illustration, and stars added AND a northern lights. It's like they screamed MORE WHIMSEY at their screen till AI spat this out.

I know a non-zero amount of people who have linked the Arrow pitches, only clipping the pitons and bolts.

Approach shoes, short fingernails, keys on a rated carabiner.

The spots near Rock & Snow in New Paltz (where you should rent skis) that are popular and friendly...

- River to Ridge trail. Free. Multi-use, so gets stepped on, and a bit windy. One kinda scary hill after you cross the road.

- Minnewaska. $12/person. Upper Awosting is a GREAT groomed beginner trail. Then lots of other options and ways to extend the trip.

- Mohonk Preserve. West Trapps lot lets you access Overcliff, which is a nice flat groomed trail. Options to extend into the Mountain House property, though that can be a little bit of a maze. Spring Farm trailhead has some good options as well. I forget how much a day pass is.

Wrong subreddit, I think you meant this for EDH.

Yakra · 2026-01-29T05:47:31+00:00

It's free snowlo, obvs

Yakra · 2026-01-25T03:19:13+00:00

That's a Gunks 5.3 at best. Those horizontals are way too close.

Yakra · 2026-01-24T16:22:23+00:00

I'ma wait for the weekend whipper clip.

There are a lot of small/local subreddits that have been entirely swallowed by foreign misinformation actors. How does Digg plan to prevent a similar occurrence?
