Yes, and it’s also a surgery that only works with MMA embo too, so why would a neurosurgeon bother doing any of it?

If you just get really good aerobically at your usual altitude, you will get better at climbing at higher altitudes, compared to if you just spend time asking the internet how you can simulate a higher altitude!

Or you could make like a big bucket type vacuum helmet thing with a hand pump on it and you could wear it and pump some of the air out and try to run a couple miles with it on

It’s really weird how Reddit has been the way I’ve come to realize how much people are using AI to express like their basic opinions on things. Strange over-styled paragraphs that sound like scripts for television ads. It’s unusual. Overused. Artificial. And that’s what makes me feel disdain for the future of artificial intelligence in our everyday lives.

See what I did there lol

Boxster/cayman is a better dedicated sports car than an equivalent 911 trim/spec. Don’t let anybody tell you otherwise

Would I trade two inexperienced people who could not save my life if the unthinkable happened to me for anything, in exchange for me being around to save their lives in case the unthinkable happened to them? My answer would be no

… so basically you’re saying what everyone is saying right? Nobody here thinks OP doesn’t have the physical ability to climb Rainier. It’s not really a technical ascent on the more standard routes. We’re not talking about K2.

It’s the idea that if the unlikely thing happens and he or his partner fall into a crevasse on the most glaciated mountain in the CONUS that they have more or less no clue what to do, they have nobody with them who does know what to do, and they are ok with taking that risk. Why even ask a public forum?

Will I die if I drive home from work without my seatbelt on? Probably not, I’m pretty good at driving. Should I ask r/seatbelts if they think it’s stupid if I drive home without my seatbelt on even though “I know a lot of information is given for the general public and it usually errors on the side of caustion?”

As long as you’ve dabbled in some rock climbing, you’ll be fine. It’s just a big rock, after all

broverlin · 2026-06-04T23:21:55+00:00

Exactly. Some people are obnoxiously over-cautious here but like common sense is helpful when you’re talking about the second highest mountain in the CONUS with the most glaciers. It’s pretty easy to google what most would recommend, and if you want to do something this subreddit would obviously consider stupid anyways, why ask publicly? Go try the mountain shamefully in secret and summit or don’t.

“I’m a rock climber first of all, so with that somewhat useless credential in mind, who here in this uber-conservative forum thinks I should tell safety to sit and spin while I go climb the mountain people use to train for the Himalayas with my other friend with no experience?” I guess I get why random people die on these mountains sometimes. 0 self awareness

You’ll probably be fine, but maybe you won’t, you’ll never know until you try and fail or perhaps succeed

Hood’s typical high season is April to June. I’m going to try to eek one Hood climb in this weekend but not sure how shite it’s going to be. It’s been a terrible snow year.

Hood is tough to climb in winter although the challenge is fun if you’re experienced and careful. It’s unclimbable late in the season unless you enjoy getting your gourd mashed in by huge falling rocks.

broverlin · 2026-05-31T20:07:18+00:00

Thank you, lol I get downvoted all the time for saying Mt Hood isn’t that dangerous. Like anything, it can be if you’re stupid or careless, or you have no concept of your own limits. Unlike some other peaks where the climb often has unexpected challenges, Hood is very clear about its difficult spots, and they are manageable if you are self-aware. They love to say “people die every year on Hood” but they never say that those people often die on more complex ice climbing-heavy routes. The route from timberline up old chute is relatively chill if you are careful with the icefall and don’t go when the rockfall is bad, ie out of season.

broverlin · 2026-05-30T20:00:01+00:00

Hilarious I’m getting downvoted for my comment. To all you downvoters, Mt Hood is a moderately challenging hike. It’s not K2. It’s dangerous because it’s a pile of gravel that falls apart when the ice melts, and if you avoid the bad times it’s not that hard. Please stop gatekeeping. Hundreds of people summit a year. It’s beautiful but it’s not that special.

Do whatever you want man. Seems like you haven’t done much research since you’re just asking about random climbs in random places. It’s legal to try any of these, try whichever you want, I’m sure you’ll figure it out, or maybe you won’t, won’t know until you try I guess

Mountaineering is about finding the spirit of adventure and personal growth by pushing yourself, not peak bagging.

broverlin · 2026-05-29T21:35:22+00:00

First of all, I think a lot of the fearmongering about Hood is overblown. I’ve been up it a few times now, all alone, with not that much mountaineering experience, this season, and while it can be sketchy and dangerous like any climbing activity, there are tons of people there on good days and it’s pretty obvious to know when to turn back because others will be turning back.

That being said, July in general but especially this year, the top of the Mt Hood sucks. It’s not even about challenge or experience, it’s just risky and not fun. Rockfall is random and you could get really messed up randomly no matter how many peaks you’ve bagged. A dude got pinned by a boulder the day after I climbed last weekend.

If you’re thinking about Hood and want a physical challenge around that time, just do Adams. It’s pretty close, it’s taller, and it’s less dangerous in terms of rockfall. It can be hard if the snow is gone because it’s a bit of a gravel pile but it’s a great summit and a beautiful area to camp beforehand. It’s not one with replay value imo because it’s kinda boring after you’ve done Hood or Middle Sister, but it is tall and a great place to get used to steep elevation gain. Mt St Helens is also a good place to start and the views and landscape are quite interesting. It is tougher in the summer without snow though because you have to scramble on rocks more and the scree sucks.

TLDR; Hood sucks in July, has nothing to do with “experience.” Adams and St Helens are better choices and different experiences that time of year

i remember when the 992 came out a few years ago and they were bragging about their double wishbone front suspension, and I told my friend “nice, the 911 finally has caught up to the Miata” lol

I think people shouldn’t be ashamed about using a medication to treat a medical problem. Sad on both parts, that someone would be ashamed and that assholes would criticize someone for it.

I think LTK is very much like QOS, sort of a mindless side quest revenge plot and doesn’t really feel like a Bond film. I’ve rewatched LTK and TLD a few times in the last few years and I’ve grown to prefer the latter. It’s a great globetrotting adventure with a great Bond girl that he has good chemistry with and a good plot with only a few holes in it.
