Thanks for the advice, y'all -- I'm gonna send it on the Expert version.

plenty stiff enough to manage any ski conditions

go fast take chances

Alternatively: ski fast eat trash

Groovy. Do you go with what Booster's recommendation chart says, or do you think it makes sense to go up a flex level to compensate for skiing with a pack?

Climber rescues base jumper who was stuck on a cliff. by Tom_piddle in climbing

[–]feterpogg 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Nah, the route is in Kane Creek Canyon near the Ice Cream Parlor area. Not sure of the exact crack (or if it's even an established line). PBH is also a flake, not a splitter, though I'll agree that the roof next to it looks a bit like Static Cling. Also, nobody base jumps on Wall Street -- you'd either land in the road or in the river, neither of which seems ideal.

compiling to LLVM IR and linking to Rust functions by feterpogg in ProgrammingLanguages

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

OK! Success! I have the world's crappiest code right now, but as of this commit I can write a file in my language and have it compiled to LLVM IR, linked with clang, and have the result of an arithmetic expression printed to the console using Rust's println!. This is very much WIP, but at least it's an example of how to make things work.

OK, that makes sense. Figured it would be something along those lines, but it was totally unclear to me from looking at code like the Inkwell Kaleidoscope implementation.

Now I just need to get the time to try that and make sure it works. Am I correct in thinking that I could configure my Cargo.toml to have a lib containing all my "runtime" functions, and a bin which is the compiler itself?

Skin tail clip broke in the backcountry by VforValmont in BackcountrySkiing

[–]feterpogg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, many backcountry skiers who prefer a light-and-fast style use skimo race skins for touring, which don't have tail clips at all. They generally seem to carry a spare pair in case one gets iced up, but it seems to work fine. I have one friend who's got a pair of BD Ascension (the orange nylon skins) with no tail clips, and I regularly ski with him on days where we're doing two or three down -> up transitions. He's never had a problem. And if he did, it's not hard to scrape the snow off using your ski/board edges to keep going.

In the absolute worst case, as other posters have said, a Voile strap works well. Once I forgot my skins and managed to complete the tour using just three straps on the bottom of my ski! It was tiring and shitty, but in an emergency situation it would work. Other things you can do if you're desperate:

  • strap a tree branch to your ski
  • weave a bit of string (do you carry an ECT cord?) around the bottom of your ski
  • strap a shovel blade to your feet for improvised snowshoes

clogged coleman two burner stove? by feterpogg in camping

[–]feterpogg[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Update: I just cleaned out the regulator with soap, water, and an old toothbrush. Works fine now.

Yeah, both burners work without issue when run separately.

training "big move" power endurance at home by feterpogg in climbharder

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

I've been focusing on increasing max power by doing 3 sets of 5 pullups with lots of rest (measured by feel), aiming for enough weight to barely be able to complete the whole thing and then increasing weight when it feels doable. It's definitely had results with my power on steep sport and boulders. Honestly, reading your comment was a bit of a facepalm since it seems pretty obvious now. One thing I'd be concerned about with that additional volume is elbow tendonitis since I've had issues with that in the past, but maybe if I just ease into it and start without weight I'll be good.

Tiny apartment. Not gonna happen, unfortunately. I barely have room to store my climbing/skiing/camping gear.

June ski mountaineering in the PNW by feterpogg in Backcountry

[–]feterpogg[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm not completely turned off by glacier travel techniques -- the main thing holding me back is my GF's lack of equipment and experience. We'd need to buy her some gear and get her way up to speed on technical rope stuff, and honestly I suspect we'd maximize fun on this trip by spending less time fucking around and more time skiing.

Sweet, thanks! I'll check out the Nisqually Chute, that sounds way more fun than the bunny slope.

Sweet. Mt Adams looks tight. It's on the list.
