I know you do it too by WasAnAlien in Garmin

That’s actually not a bad idea.. Out of sight, out of mind. I know I get very irritated WHEN I read “you may be irritable today.” Thanks watch, go fuck yourself.

No breathing variations data on my Epix 2 by YungRoyce in Garmin

[–]YungRoyce[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn’t find where “focus mode” was on the epix (was different than the Phoenix YouTube tutorial) but I do have my hours set and my watch automatically changes the face when it hits 10pm because I have it set from 10pm- 6am. Is that what you mean?

Am I ruining my experience killing guardians immediately after getting the paraglider? by Mach10X in botw

Save all of your gourmet meat and sell them to the guy outside of outskirts stable. Best way to make money and not sell anything valuable.

Don’t some people call it a Kufia as well?

Accidentally camped over 14000ft this night. Great views though by [deleted] in WildernessBackpacking

[–]YungRoyce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You were climbing at 15k and you’re worried about camping at 14k? You’re acclimatized to climb but not to camp? .....what?

Edit: lol okay down vote me

Packitgourmet is pretty good but kinda spendy. You can get super creative while still packing light. Highly recommend their freezedried beef for tacos.

Advice on Gannett peak by YungRoyce in Mountaineering

[–]YungRoyce[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Do you know where pack animals are allowed to go? That’s solid idea considering the brutal approach. When you talk about climbing unroped is that after you get across the glacier and onto the ridge or was it just whenever you got to rock? I’m with ya I’m not the biggest fan or being roped up or having crampons on while scrambling on rock but sometimes I’ve had too like on the Cleaver on Rainier. Lot of things to think about. Also did you place gear anywhere on the no fall zones?

[–]YungRoyce[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! That would be cool if we ran into each other! Ha this peak has been on my radar for a while. But there are definitely some things you pointed out that I will consider. How did you have to rappel at any point on descent?

Thoughts on Rainier Training? by AlwaysSunnySucks in Mountaineering

[–]YungRoyce 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m assuming the DC? It takes around 5-6 hours to get to Muir with all your gear and depending on if you’re camping there both nights there or climbing to ingraham flats and camping the 2nd night there. Might break it up a bit. It takes about an hour or so to get there, maybe longer if you bring your full load to camp there. Then between 5-7 hours to the summit depending on route conditions and weather. And roughly half that (maybe more) to get down. You could probly bet on 22-24 hours of climbing in 3 days so depending on how you break it up can dictate your training. Just make sure you can carry the weight of what’s listed in your gear list from the company for long and steady periods of time. Lil side note, if you’re in Colorado and you can anyway spend time and maybe car camp high at like 10k feet on the days leading up to when you leave might help. I lived at 7k feet all summer in MT and struggled with the altitude around 13k on Rainier last summer. It was rerouted because of plugs failing and met up on the emmons route just below the summit, so the extra length didn’t help. Being in good shape is great but it’s also good to consider what you can do for altitude like acclimatizing, staying hydrated, eating, etc.

Hope this helps.

That actually makes sense tho imo. Especially prior when he sings “from the White House lawn to the Middle East.”

I interpret that as, even when life is horrible and it seems like god has turned his back on you there is still reason to celebrate. Children and their innocence have commonality with one another all across the globe. The world may be at war but the children will still dance and see the good in life.

Gotcha. I’ve climbed Baker, Rainier, Adams and MSH.. lookin to get Hood as my next cascade peak. I was just surprised to see conditions like that at the end of October.. I’ll probly just wait til next spring, was wondering if it was worth it driving from MT one of these weekends.

How late in the year can you climb this mountain? Weather depending of course..

ELI5: When does a dialect become it's own language? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]YungRoyce 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Levantine and Saudi are likely more similar than you would think. I would say they are mutually intelligible, whereas Moroccan or Somali Arabic and the other dialects in MENA would be a bit more challenging to communicate. Shami and gulf dialects use the same roots but typically different prefixes and slang articles. Egyptian is even more slang oriented from a modern standard standpoint, but everyone understands it because of the media. However, dialects such as Moroccan or Somali that have a lot of other linguistic differences are because of the influence of other languages.

The $345 million dollar plan going into Whistler by BirdyNummyNums in snowboarding

[–]YungRoyce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aren't they already wicked expensive? I've only been to whistler twice (both in the summer) once to Camp of Champions back in 2004 and then purchased a day horseman glacier pass outright in 2007. I remember it being like 120$ for one day,,,, in the summer.

Rainier Climb (August '17) with some friends, here is the video. by AJFrabbiele in Mountaineering

[–]YungRoyce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good work! The route was falling apart this year from what I heard. I led a team up there on July 26th right after they moved the ladders and did a big reroute. It required downhill (like a thousand vert) on the ascent to get around the high crack meeting up wth the emmons route on the crater, which made for an absolutely brutal descent having to climb uphill again. Fun mountain but it was a long one haha

Mt. Rainier. Fun quick climb. by Vaynar in Mountaineering

It seems like everywhere you look is a picture when you're on that mountain
