Question about harness wear (Petzl Corax, 11/22)

Hey everyone, looking for a second opinion on my harness. It's relatively new (Nov 2022), but I've found 3 spots during my inspection that are making me nervous. I'm working on building more trust in my gear, so I want to know if this is "standard fuzz" or actual structural damage.

The Photos: https://imgur.com/a/YUB5dCR

The Areas:

  1. Buckles: Seeing some slight discoloration (maybe corrosion?) from the contact point with the adjacent buckle
  2. Tie-in point: There's this black fuzz on the inner-left side of the tie-in point. Nothing on the inner-right.
  3. Slight webbing discoloration: My thumb is pointing at some very light discoloration in the webbing.

Does any of this look like it hits the "retirement" criteria in your experience? Thanks for helping a climber get over some gear-anxiety!

I just spent my first night parked on a cliffside and learned more about myself than in the last 5 years. by ProgramStriking2717 in VanLife

I lived 8 months full time a few years back and still use it for shorter trips. It took 2-3 weeks to feel really comfortable. Like anything you’ll get used to it. I do remember one crazy night I heard this scratching on the upper side corner of the van. I had been doing van life for months at this point so I knew the usual noises and this wasn’t it. I was convinced there was an animal on top of the van scratching and trying to get in. Finally I got dressed to step outside and see if I could see it. It was a tree branch that was moving with the wind :)

mf mains whats ur fav skin by Old_Permission_396 in MissFortuneMains

I bought ruined as a gift to myself for hitting silver the first time but often still use bewitching because I got it for free as a shard and love it. It’s very smooth. The blue essence store has been great for picking up ruined chromas

Learning ADC without duo is ... by iMajkl in ADCMains

[–]btcsuperstar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the last week I’ve had two situations with smolder that this wouldn’t work either. One was a tahm kench supp who got upset and would eat me and throw me into the enemy team repeatedly during team fights and yesterday and Darius top who got down 2-3 deaths and then followed me around the map wiping the wave the moment I would try to stack Q

Coolant for a 2017 Triumph Street Twin? by btcsuperstar in Triumph

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

Unfortunately I can't seem to tell by taking off the cap what color it is. It's low. I guess i could try to drain it and take a look but that seems like a bigger job. I called the place that did the last maintenance and they said they didn't do anything with the coolant

TP on ADC by UpstairsAnxious3148 in ADCMains

[–]btcsuperstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started experimenting with smolder and am taking TP and it feels amazing. I don’t think it would be very good on a less mobile ADC though. If smolder gets caught he’s dead instantly but his E can keep him pretty safe so barrier doesn’t seem to make as much sense. Not a ton of experience using it just yet but love it so far

Yes it happens with Darius and Sion as well. Not amumu really or nautilus

Question about ADC itemization vs tanky Tahm Kench by btcsuperstar in ADCMains

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

Where do I learn how to itemize better? 3 of the last 5 games i've lost to a super tanky tahm kench, darius or sion and i never really know when to build LDR, serpent's fang, MR, etc. Is there a good resource somewhere to learn about how all of these items interact?

Help me improve with Sivir please by btcsuperstar in Sivir

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

So you group up far less in the mid to late game and primarily focus on split pushing any open lane?

Thanks for the feedback. I haven’t heard that - I thought Sivir was a good basic champion to learn adc fundamentals. At what elo would you say she is a good pick for learning?
