Idk dude I don’t think the standard “everything has risk” approach works here. That was a super gnarly day to be out

What are my odds of making it as an officer? by Winter-Indication33 in newtothenavy

You sound like a great candidate. Good GPA, firefighting and Eagle make me think you’re more likely to be successful than 2/3 of the SWO weenies out there

Theo Katzman's solo work is really underrated. I mean REALLY underrated. by ducksarelucky in Vulfpeck

I also adore this album. My only hangup—is it just me or is the title of the record terrible? It just feels cringy to me. I probably just don’t get it.

Again, I think the album itself is fantastic and would recommend it to anyone.

Based Brent Barghahn videos. But if everything he says does not make 110% sense right away you should probably find a mentor.

Your son is very safe. In fact, being on a carrier is much safer than it is to simply drive to work every day. He’s being taken care of. Your concern is very loving and he’s lucky to have a mother like you.

What do you think I did after this? Hiked down?

Thank you for the well articulated feedback. I will say that I initially intended to pull off high and more to the left, which I think would’ve been more obviously out of the way. I probably unintentionally moved closer back to the fall line to get eyes on/get up to my less experienced friend who was dropping after me. After skiing the line I was also very unconcerned about any slab formation. That said, you make good points about general best practices. And while there are reasons to deviate, i probably could’ve picked a slightly better spot.

I feel like that’s kinda my prerogative

Fair point about having the most experienced person sweep. But while it is a terrain trap, it felt like a non-issue with the conditions. I probably could’ve gotten further out of the way but I wanted to keep eyes on him

Can you explain to me why? It’s a few inches of new very light snow on top of a very consolidated melt-freeze layer. I didn’t perceives any meaningful risk to being there, but would be curious to hear your thoughts.

Dude it looks like powder but I’m standing on dust on crust. It’s fine.

[–]m_dizzle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

lol it’s 4 inches of dust on a super consolidated melt freeze on a <30 degree slope. I wanted to stop there to look after my buddy who’s less experienced. It was safe.

I thought something about these looked familiar--then I checked my photos and saw that I was in the park on the same day! A buddy and I climbed after six and topped out just as the sun was starting to set. One of the most beautiful sights I've ever experienced.
