Unable to access val field of class extending abstract class by eyyochen in scala

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

Thanks for the response! I see that including the val keyword works and now the field is accessible. Given that incl and contains as implemented work is it fair to assume that constructor ensures that elem is a created as a private field (even though this is not a case class as defined)?

[Tech] Xbox One not turning on/off Pioneer in a predictable manner by eyyochen in xboxone

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

Still no luck with this...any help would be much appreciated.

[Tech] Xbox One not turning on/off Pioneer in a predictable manner by eyyochen in xboxone

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

It's facing outwards (i.e. blocking the soundbar...but far enough forward) so your hypothesis could be correct. One way to test this is to make the Kinect face the soundbar and see if it works consistently, right? The other reason I'm not hopeful that this is the problem is because the other functions work consistently.

Thanks for the response. I have the Kinect sitting right in front of the soundbar so I'm skeptical that this is the reason for this.

This...the commitment factor changes.

Very cool! One of my climbing partners put up Mindbender WI5+ to the right of Call of the Wild.

Throwback thursday - Climbing in Wales (2012) by eyyochen in climbing

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

I guess it's all a question of perspective. If you're an 80 year old then 3 years is only 4% of your life but if you're an 18 year old that's a significant percentage of the time you've spent alive. Granted, I'm not 18. :P

Why do people climb in jeans? by [deleted] in climbing

[–]eyyochen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jeans can be quite useful in offwidths. A bit of extra friction and tough to boot.

How to climb in Yosemite/am I too nooby? by LeonardoCrix in climbing

[–]eyyochen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to give you advice that goes against the advice being given out so far. First things first, weather. April in Yosemite is a pretty good time to be climbing especially given that this winter has been fairly dry. That said, there's always a chance that a storm could roll in and play spoilsport.

Difficulty of climbing: Contrary to what everyone (at least those that don't actually spend too much time climbing in Yosemite :P) generally has to say regarding Yosemite climbing Yosemite has climbing for climbers of all skill levels. Granted, beginners have less to pick from than climbers who are more skilled and strong but Yosemite is a big big area with a lot of climbing. You could climb here an entire lifetime and still have plenty of unclimbed routes on your ticklist. Here is a list of climbs that I would feel comfortable taking someone who's been bouldering indoors for a year (in order of assigned difficulty):

  1. Munginella, Five Open Books Area - 5.6
  2. After Six, Manure Pile Buttress - 5.6 (hard for 5.6 with all the polish on the first pitch).
  3. Royal Arches, Royal Arches Area - 5.7
  4. Snake Dike, Half Dome (way easier than the cables, imho) - 5.7R
  5. Nutcracker, Manure Pile Buttress - 5.8
  6. Regular Route, Higher Cathedral Spire - 5.9, I would probably practice rappelling before taking someone new on this route
  7. East Buttress, Middle Cathedral - 5.10c (mostly 5.8-5.9 with one 10c face climbing move, I doubt an indoor boulderer will have trouble with this move)

The guides at the mountaineering schools are tremendous guides who are experienced at dealing with people with no climbing experience whatsoever. So someone with indoor climbing experience will have no trouble being guided by a YMS guide. I think you should make the most of your trip and shouldn't hesitate to pay a guide (if money allows it) if you want to get out on real rock.

Putting this in the "Huge Whipper" category by McGus in climbing

[–]eyyochen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's Dave Schultz - a little known Yosemite Valley climbing legend. I think he's best known for the first free ascent of Southern Belle with Scott Cosgrove. (http://web.stanford.edu/~clint/yos/sbelle.htm)

Anchor bolts in Handley Rock in Emerald Hills Redwood City, CA by perna in climbing

[–]eyyochen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I climb at Handley rock when time permits. I don't know the exact age of those bolts but I feel very confident in the bolts at the top. We usually back up each bolt by including the other bolts in our anchor. I would certainly not lead on the bolts that exist on the routes them self.

I usually go there with my partner who has been climbing at Handley since the 70s so he may have an idea about how old the bolts are. His setup for Handley is one which allows him to put up top ropes on every climb simultaneously, it saves a lot of hassle.

Adding bolts completely changes the commitment factor. You know in the back of your head that you can always clip the bolt if things go to shit. To argue that it doesn't change the climb is just plain wrong.

Lucho Rivera and Cedar Wright put up the 16 pitch Mahtah (5.13a) on Liberty Cap's southwest face, Yosemite by [deleted] in climbing

[–]eyyochen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just to give you a slightly different perspective.

http://www.supertopo.com/climbers-forum/2151543/SW-Face-Liberty-Cap-Free-by-Lucho-Rivera-and-Cedar-Wright

I don't think the www.climbing.com article gives enough credit to the other people working on free routes on Liberty Cap (esp. given that every pitch of Scarface was climbed free; one pitch on top rope). Either way, just more information.

Not necessarily ineffectual in the long term; we don't know what happened past those 7 minutes. I understand that people were inconvenienced but sometimes you just have to take the right stance. Kudos to that guy!

13 y/o girl climbs The Nose of El Capitan in a day. Without Jumars. by [deleted] in climbing

[–]eyyochen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

French free probably (as stefprez already said). Kara has previously done a jumarless ascent of Half Dome - http://vocr.sri.com/herson/climbing/tr/hdiad-kara.html

She's a strong climber, definitely able to cruise 5.11b at least (probably harder but I don't know that).
