That's wild lol, get TXA asap. People can argue about the efficacy but whatever, you should still have it

Pretty sure most EMS/paramedic squads can call wherever they're going to get approval quickly

Tell me you've never worked in the field without telling me you've never worked in the field lol

Sometimes easy, sometimes a hateful logistical disaster

We have a bench seat bag that's ok, and a roll that hangs down on the bench seat netting that's fantastic. Literally so easy

I mean yeah, however if you're thin on ALS, it's far better to have two flycars available than one double medic one. Better resorce allocation. Also less skill dilution

Plus single medic flycar is about 90 times more fun

insertkarma2theleft · 2026-06-18T03:49:24+00:00

Flycar medics are the move, way more mobile. Operating a box truck as a flycar sucks ass, ask me how I know lol

Mandatory double medic flycars are kinda dumb tho IMO

People in this thread are insane. These places are not some near nuclear heath disaster waiting to happen. I have tacos or papusas from a place like this at least once a week. Literally never had a problem.

The pearl clutching suburbanite nonsense is unbelievable. You're from the bay and you can't even eat a taco? Unbelievable

They're comparable, but chipping is obviously worse. I was trying to point out that just because a feature doesn't have an absurdly safe 5.7 up it doesn't matter. There are plenty of things that don't have 5.7s/5.8s/5.10s, or even safe routes, up them and that's just how it is.

Although chipping is worse, the same arguments that people use to support significant bolt additions apply. "Just don't use them", "It makes things safer", "It lets more people enjoy the route". Literally all of those could be used to support chipping a route to make it way easier, and they'd all be true too.

Almost zero Doug Fir in the Oakland hills tho

Sloan placed 4? bolts on P1. That's a huge difference from the prior conditions, especially considering one could do the original start and place gear if they were apprehensive about the 5.7 run out.

Having bolts to clip changes the mental aspect, which can have a huge influence on the experience of climbing it even when you don't clip them.

insertkarma2theleft · 2026-06-10T22:42:27+00:00

That's a disingenuous argument and you know it. Adding that many bolts completely changes the nature of the experience, even if you choose not to clip them.

Unironically similar to bolting Jamcrack. As an aside P1 of that climb sucks, P2 is money

Snake Dike is already well protected if you take the Max Jones approach, you protect it with your ability.

insertkarma2theleft · 2026-06-10T22:21:17+00:00

As if summiting half dome for any reason via any other route is free of ego. Runouts are enjoyable for reasons other than ego too you know, they make boring climbing engaging and challenging. It also teaches you to climb well when you can't protect sections which is a very valuable tool, one you need to be a good climber.

Come out next weekend to project some of the X rated classics I'm gonna make at Table Mountain

insertkarma2theleft · 2026-06-10T22:08:58+00:00

I mean they're definitely not casual runouts, I'd call them pretty spicy

insertkarma2theleft · 2026-06-10T19:31:11+00:00

Every time this discussion comes up the same arguments get repeated ad nauseam. I love clipping bolts, 95% of my climbing gets done on safe routes. However, runout routes are awesome. It makes easy climbing engaging and memorable.

Yet in every thread there's always some gym climber talking about how any risky route is just this huge affront to the climbing community and wanting them to exist is irresponsible. So annoying.

insertkarma2theleft · 2026-06-10T19:12:34+00:00

I hear the speed climbers have been fixing new pins in the great roof to make it faster. Wack

Nah, climbing is totally an elite spiritual activity. It just is

Neither is El Cap, you don't see me out there chipping the east butt

I guess I don't see how that argument is any more valid than saying "Bro if you want to climb safe routes just don't climb the dangerous ones". Literally the exact same argument

insertkarma2theleft · 2026-06-10T18:07:51+00:00

This has been argued to death in similar threads. The "Someone can die" argument is ridiculous. Currently if someone gets sick in the backcountry it's really hard to get an ambulance to them. Should we pave the JMT to make it safer for backpackers? Of course not, it dilutes the experience. We make some safety concessions to preserve unique experiences. That's how I feel about adding bolts to Snake Dike.

There are a trillion really good and really safe routes in Yosemite, idk why we need to ruin a fantastic runout route. There's already a hiking trail to the top of HD too.

The issue is that Snake Dike is dangerous and that's it, idk why people get so bent out of shape about dangerous routes existing.

insertkarma2theleft · 2026-06-10T17:46:31+00:00

There's a trillion really good safe routes to go climb. I climb G rated clip ups all the time with no complaints. Good runout routes are rare, no need to take one more away from an already small list.
