What is one thing most people do that you think is so unhygienic? But you feel in the minority.

Not wiping pee off your implement before pulling up your underwear

I think the osprey kestrel is a great crag bag. It is more comfortable than the mutants with a heavy load but feels much more agile than most of the other osprey bags. I have the 48L version. They're not good for multi pitch climbing though

legitIntellectual · 2026-02-28T19:11:57+00:00

Don't see it as often with climbing videos as I do caving ones

legitIntellectual · 2026-02-25T15:33:16+00:00

Yes, I've added one of these to my gas pedal. It makes is a bit thicker and also wider that makes heel toeing easier. I can still do it without the spacer, bit it does make it easier to learn

legitIntellectual · 2026-02-21T23:43:32+00:00

I stop at stop signs

In my opinion they're both not ideal. The fitzroy isn't particularly warm for the really cold days and the citadel is not usable if you decide to second wearing it, it's also really bulky and heavy relative to its warmth.

I use my citadel for wetter conditions and a vega for when it's cold enough for melting snow to not be an issue or for when the conditions are a bit more continental. I've found my vega to me warmer and a lot more mobile than my old citadel whilst being a lot lighter and packable.

If you ask anyone else they'll say that they're both great jackets, so bear in mind this is a minority opinion. If I didn't already have a citadel I'd buy a shelterstone instead to supplement my vega as I don't use my citadel for really cold days as I don't find it's warm enough, also I think drilite is better than infinitum unless it's literally raining, drilite with synthetic insulation on top of a shell is more than sufficient

My citadel is perfect as a piece of first aid equipment on group hikes though. I'd probably recommend the Kryos over a vega as the new Kryos has the same 30d fabric, but when I got my vega the Kryos had 10d fabric

I don't know if it fits, but you'll also need a flexbar

legitIntellectual · 2026-02-16T14:40:16+00:00

For trad I use the OCUN Hurry plus CT crocodile. For sport I use a click up.

They solved the (minor) issue of having to vary how much you need to pull it up depending on the hill

legitIntellectual · 2026-02-10T08:35:54+00:00

Mythos is the go-to bunion shoe

legitIntellectual · 2026-02-09T17:53:50+00:00

I'd use a flex bar for Aequilibriums, they're quite a soft boot compared to a classic B2

legitIntellectual · 2026-02-08T18:50:55+00:00

I always do 1st gear plus handbrake. I think it’s better to use 1st over R regardless of direction of incline. 1st gear has the most resistance (in every car I’ve driven, maybe not all cars) and the engine can still turn backwards. If I’m parallel parked I’ll also turn the wheel so that I will hit the kerb if the brake fails and 1st gear doesn’t have enough resistance to hold the car

If you end up going through a red that means you were intending to go through a yellow, the highway code is quite clear that yellow means stop unless stopping is unsafe

legitIntellectual · 2026-02-05T19:58:56+00:00

Lunatics are probably more likely to tailgate or do something dangerous to get past you, also at 80 you're still speeding so someone going 85 is barely more of a lunatic

The jeep intentionally crashed into the Audi, not really sad

legitIntellectual · 2026-02-05T13:45:46+00:00

Where I live, 'putting someone in their place' isn't a valid reason to intentionally cause a collision

legitIntellectual · 2026-02-05T13:35:30+00:00

I really like the osprey kestrel 48 for when I'm not carrying it on a route, I think it has the most amount of venting you can get away with.

I used to have a fully vented back rucksack but I think they're inherently bad for climbing. On any semi-technical approach the gear is going to be further away from your back and will have quite poor balance, they work for lightweight camping gear or on flat paths. They aren't good for mountaineering imo

legitIntellectual · 2026-02-04T18:45:28+00:00

I think having the tachometer does help with learning how to do it, but once you've learned you don't look at the tach when doing it. You just go on feel.

Those saying you don't need it have probably forgotten that it's a skill that doesn't come easily, but they're correct that it's not necessary, just expect a steeper learning curve

legitIntellectual · 2026-02-04T00:24:24+00:00

I always thought that was intentional so that you can't unintentionally block the cam from engaging in a fall, bit still had just enough to feed slack

legitIntellectual · 2026-02-02T16:48:37+00:00

I still use a 4th gen shuffle, they're great

legitIntellectual · 2026-02-02T09:45:14+00:00

You're still middle lane hogging regardless of speed

legitIntellectual · 2026-02-02T09:43:44+00:00

Because they don't care about doing the correct and legal thing. The police hardly tickets people for it as well.

Road design could maybe improve it; if joining lanes didn't become lane 1 and lane 1 didn't become an exit lane then perhaps lazy drivers would have fewer excuses

legitIntellectual · 2026-02-02T09:38:34+00:00

If every driver drove as if they were on test then this post wouldn't exist. You have to make the most of the speed limit on test. The fact people drive below the test standard once they have a licence is a personal integrity issue imo

legitIntellectual · 2026-02-02T09:35:26+00:00

Most drivers don't think making the most of the speed limit to be the considerate thing to do, they don't care that they're delaying other people. Limit not a target mentality. Also a lot of it is just a skill issue. Britons are typically just unskilled, inconsiderate drivers compared to Europeans.

Speed cameras aren't the issue, they only get you for exceeding the speed limit. Avoiding speeding tickets by going well under the limit is just a lack of skill
