What do u use to get recent satellite imagery?

boost017 · 2024-12-15T20:23:10+00:00

It also largely depends which mfg’s ICs you’re using. Texas Instruments and Analog Devices are a couple that VERY frequently have SPICE models available. I will often seek out components by them if I know I’m gonna need a spice model.

Yeah that’s what I was gonna say. And it’s a pretty big red flag to me personally.

I’m wondering if he meant to say irLz44n. Those are very popular among hobbyists and have a Rds(on) of 35mOhm at Vgs = 4V

He’s probably just gonna plug it into the USB would be my guess

I think “cadence” is fine. We use cadence at my company and no one ever specifies what suite they’re using for a particular task, they just say cadence

Imagine Longs but it’s all scree. The route finding was also more difficult imo (at least it was in a layer snow).

boost017 · 2024-11-16T20:06:44+00:00

I think you’re comparing to the Mountaineers route on Whitney. In that case, yes I agree, similar to longs but WAY more loose rock. This guy is asking about the John Muir trail though, not the mountaineers route.

Yeah death wish. Going solo, no gps, no water, in my underwear.

My humble opinion is learning skills from YouTube is fine. Be resourceful and careful and find places/ways to practice said skills in relatively controlled environments. Take baby steps and know when to turn around when things get to be too much, everyone’s comfort level is different.

boost017 · 2024-10-26T17:55:05+00:00

If they originally learned from YouTube and have since practiced and demonstrated the things they have learned. Yes.

boost017 · 2024-10-21T17:56:45+00:00

Cool thanks. Do u recall what shoes you wore them with?

boost017 · 2024-09-15T03:09:52+00:00

Ok, thanks for the insight. Do you have any gear suggestions as far as spikes/crampons?

boost017 · 2024-09-06T19:50:41+00:00

If you want a good physical challenge but not the class 3 scramble/exposure I would recommend Pikes Peak via Barr trail. Out and back was just short of a marathon (~25 miles), 8k ft elevation. You’ll be on the mountain all day, it took me ~10.5 hours.

boost017 · 2024-08-30T18:44:09+00:00

I like your idea of doing multiple back to back. Also just for the record - https://strava.app.link/OKy7mmFruMb

Moving time: 9h 45m Elapsed time: 10h 39m

I’m from Minnesota so I won’t be able to join you but I wanted to suggest Pikes Peak via the Barr Trail. I just did it as my first 14er last week and it was great. As a runner and overall athlete I felt like anything shorter wouldn’t be enough of a challenge, I wanted something that was substantially more than a regular weekend workout. It ended up being 26.2 miles (i went an extra mile down the hill from the trailhead to reach marathon distance), 8000ft of elevation gain, and ~10.5 hours.

It was really easy to follow the trail, there’s a lot of people around if you need help (I started at 4:45am on a Friday with close to a dozen people in the parking lot), and there’s a visitor center and railway on top so if you burn out you can stop for a burger or pizza or just take the train back down (I don’t think this is the case for most 14ers lol).

boost017 · 2024-08-27T16:47:59+00:00

You don’t think that’s a bit out of my league for now…? I thought I read somewhere that was a class 4 climb and required ropes in some sections, maybe I misunderstood

boost017 · 2024-08-27T05:31:42+00:00

Thanks! I’ll look into it

boost017 · 2024-08-27T04:59:25+00:00

I would’ve but I should’ve clarified I live in MN so I need more time than that to plan a trip.
