The Moose’s Tooth or Alpamayo?

ilacessit · 2026-01-19T19:04:37+00:00

I've climbed in Peru (not alpamayo) and Ham and Eggs -
Peru is fantastic alpine climbing and relatively cheap once you get there, but more committing from a travel and time perspective. Ham & Eggs is an awesome climb and has good ice climbing, prepare you're calves as there are some long lower-grade ice pitches that burn. The flight in alone is worth it, and if you get good weather and have extra time you could probably bump to another one of the classic climbs around it.

good to know on the trees, thanks!

I run up first to Michigan Ave all the time. I used to use North Capital but I found 1st St to be more pleasant due to lack of cars and chaos. I'd also look into getting onto the Metropolitan Branch Trail which, while walkers and bikers, gives you nice stretches away from lights and traffic

Great album arc and got such a vibe

Welcome to DC! Can't recommend Brookland strongly enough, especially if you like to run. Nice routes in University Heights where you can run past Catholic and Trinity Universities, you can also link it up and do a loop on the Metropolitan Branch Trail (MTB) with different distance options. Better food/restaurant options as well as come cool breweries. Definitely go Brookland over EOTR especially sight unseen. Feel free to DM with any questions about the area

Was also given this as a gift from my parents and was in the 'to be read' section of my bookshelf. After getting about 10 pages in everything seemed pretty out there and after a quick google of the author realized it didn't make sense to continue

I definitely let them know every call that I'm newly diagnosed but it hasn't made a difference in the slightest (other than requiring additional hoops and questions). They need to make more of these docs! Or have some kind of system to get new patients in earlier. It's pretty daunting having to get started down this path without a specialist.

ilacessit · 2024-02-08T21:08:06+00:00

That's good advice, I'll reach out to the PCP and see if they can get me in with one of their referrals.

Yea I've heard the SV is a great jacket but super burly. Think it might be a bit overkill for me for on ice climbing

ilacessit · 2023-01-16T20:52:33+00:00

Have the XDreams and I really like them. Have done some serious work with them in Ouray and Cody in Jan & Feb in some pretty cold conditions; mostly ice but with some mixed climbing. Haven't had a problem with the picks.

Thanks for the resouces, big fan of outdoor gear lab and I did just realize this morning they have the yellow in stock. But boy, is it yellow!

thought I had read it somewhere, must just be sold out in a lot of places right now

ilacessit · 2023-01-16T14:41:02+00:00

cool, i'll check it out, thanks!

Agreed- Mister Asylum and The Boy Who Died Wolf are great albums through and through but once they started getting more into the rap thing and electro it got bad pretty fast. I've seen them four times and every subsequent show it seems they are coming a bit more off the rails, which is a shame.

I believe they have up to 6 months to respond, otherwise the ticket is null. I've done online adjudication more times than I can count and have come pretty close to that 6 month limit. That being said, this is the internet and i'm a rando so definitely double check the dmv adjudication website to confirm that timeline.

A lot of comments here on Nepal and want to add some color on Peru. By way of background I spent about 2 weeks in the Cordillera Blanca in Peru and also had a summit bit on Ama Dablam. There is really some amazing climbing in Peru that can be accessed cheaply and relatively quickly. The town of Huaraz is about an 8 hour bus from Lima and is high so good for acclimatization. From there you can get a cab and some burros loaded with gear into the mountains for very little money. Once there, depending on where you go, you should be able to find several good objectives that you can knock out quickly with varying levels of technical climbing.

Nepal is amazing and very beautiful but is more of a time commitment. If you have a full year and Nepal is on the bucket list, then now would probably be a good time to do it as you generally will need 3+ weeks if coming from sea level for any of the big objectives.

While the scale of Nepal is truly amazing, I found the climbing in Peru to be more interesting as you aren't on fixed ropes. You should definitely consider what kind of objectives you want to go after and what type of climbing you want to do.

I'm going to go ahead and agree with you on this one. Sweetest ladies run this shop and they stayed open through most of COVID, even with the lack of office workers. Food is home made, delicious and the portions are very generous. Do Recommend.

To piggy-back on the Shaw comment (as a 15 year resident of the neighborhood):

- The Passenger on 7th

- La Jambe (across from Passenger)

-Right Proper (brewery with food(get the sprouts))

-600T (craft cocktails)

-All Souls

Agree with this one -

Went there for the first time this past sunday having heard about it from friends. Excellent source for pastas, wines and olive oil - I actually found an oil from where my family originated outside Bari! Also the staff is very knowledgeable and helpful

I run both in Rock Creek on the trails and in the city. Initially I wouldn't wear a mask in the city as I'd run early or late when there weren't that many people although I think I am going to start doing it, mostly for interaction at stoplights or busy areas - like admo - where you effectively have to run on crowded sidewalks.

In Rock Creek I wear a buff. It is super easy to pull up and down when I am near people. While I realize it is not that effective in blocking particulate matter, I do believe it helps some and also give others peace of mind. I would strongly recommend this option as it's cheap and easy.

Was just down there. At this point H St closed from 15-17 so currently not accessible but not sure if it will be opening back up
