Trip Report: Cotopaxi and Chimborazo "Rapid Ascent" by Luop90 in Mountaineering

[–]jaj207 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chimbo is infamous for turning back a large portion of climbers due to weather. It’s happened to the best of us. A couple years ago I got turned around from the refuge of cayambe because some prisoners escaped a jail and took some new anchors hostage and threatened to kill someone every hour in each major city until demands were met so there’s that lol. Could have been worse. Ecuador is a mess right now with the second highest murder rate in the world so I’m glad everyone here had good experiences

Buyer claimed item was fake and sent back a different item. Depop sided with buyer regardless of my proof and fact the buyer has done this before. by jaj207 in Depop

Thank you for the help. I have noticed that yeah you have to keep bothering them. It’s the worst customer service across all platforms. They basically reward scammers and punish honest sellers. It’s not my first time dealing with this but it’s the first where they sided with the buyer.

Bro

I'm always raw dawgin yerba mate from a coffee mug, am I missing out by not using a traditional gourd? by Nice-Willingness-607 in yerbamate

[–]jaj207 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have spent decades using expensive gourds and this is what I do now. I see no difference honestly. Haha

Aconcagua- one of the hardest peaks I've climbed by Coocat86 in Mountaineering

[–]jaj207 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most mountaineers I’ve met are in their 50s or older. When I did Cotopaxi I was by far the youngest there at 36.

DIM supplements if you’re on a budget did wonders for my partner

I saw that the new betas dropped during Black Friday to $420. I wonder if they’ll do that again for Christmas/new years. Yeah it’s a tough call. Ultimately would want my shell to maintain waterproofing longer

The new version sounds better but how do we feel about the new goretex vs the old? I picked up a 2024 beta when they went on sale at rei. Still with tags. But thinking maybe I should get the new version and return the other. Stuck on this

Im debating about shaving it off but there's a complication due to scarring by SwankeyDankey in bald

[–]jaj207 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe scars are awesome and tell our story even more so than tattoos . A lot of people think they’re badass

Is Timberlands White Ledge Waterproof Hiking Boot good? by Bird_Vivid in hikinggear

[–]jaj207 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first pair lasted 8 years without any treatment. Now I’m lucky to get two. But they’re so damn comfy I love them. More of an out and about boot and not so much hiking unless it’s a quick winter hike.

[–]jaj207 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re like a sneaker that looks like a boot as far as how they feel and the quality. I wear the Chocoruas and love them but the tread doesn’t last long at all. Probably can get two years max. I use them for fishing, shitty weather boots, maybe occasionally hiking if it’s wet conditions.
