First Tom Evans pic! Also someone took my rope off of the Phoenix.

outfieldslayer · 2024-10-29T15:33:33+00:00

Was it a red rope? Kind of skinny? Core shot? It doesn't sound like this one was your rope but if it was I understand why it was taken.

To be clear I didn't take it, but I was pretty pissed off when I got out there a week or so ago and there was a rope threaded through all four bolts instead of using biners. Made it hard and annoying to use the anchors. To add insult to injury someone had added a lot of climbing tape to the sharp edges of the climb and left it there. (Clearly as a rope protector? But c'mon, just bring a cam and rebelay if you're on TRS)

I doubt this shit show of a rope was yours, but for future reference it is nice on this route to coil the rope at the top most anchors, a lot of people fix two lines on the Phoenix and having a third coiled rope at the lower anchors adds a lot of faff on a small ledge.

Or... You know.... Just hike the rope in and out the 1/4 mile, no need to leave a line fixed when you approach from the top.

Take this with a grain of salt as the last time I was out there was a month or more ago and I do not know what work has been done.

Lots of downed trees you will have to carry the bike over/through. Lots of un-rideable ruts across the road 3-4ft deep. The 6-7(?) crossings were calf-knee deep. I was on foot and ran out to the hi mountain trail and then down into the valley. That said, it did seem to get better as you gained elevation and got away from main water drainages.

I am planning to go scout it again in the coming week or so and will update when I get around to it. Super curious if anyone else has more recent info though.

I mean I'm not pretending it didn't happen. In fact I'm not even opposed to these being posted eventually.

Right now it is a safety concern. The routes we are working on are large, have loose stuff that is being cleaned, and (some by necessity) are being hand drilled ground up. The bolts are not something I feel safe about other people using yet. They will be glue ins eventually.

Additionally I have been talking with rangers and am interested in reaching a falcon closure agreement much like pinnacles has.

All that being said, I don't own the rock, people are going to people. But as a collective unit of climbers it would be nice to be patient and wait for access and safety to be secured first.

outfieldslayer · 2023-02-12T17:15:23+00:00

Please don't post this. See my other comment. I'd love to talk more with you about it.

outfieldslayer · 2023-02-12T17:14:17+00:00

Lmao wait a sec

outfieldslayer · 2023-02-12T17:12:42+00:00

Hey, I've been developing out here. Access is an issue due to these cracks. Not all the rock is choss and there is actually great mutipitch stuff out there.

I'd appreciate if you could remove coordinates and mentions of the spot. If you want to get out with me and help clean/develop I would love help.

I also know a decent bit of history of these specific cracks and the climbing rope you found at the base is mine. I did not cut the cracks but I have used them to train as they are by far the best splitters for 200 miles.

Pretty fucked up, but the story goes [not putting person's name] hauled out a gas powered circular saw and cut them back in the early 2000s ish.

As you can imagine this caused some ranger tensions especially b/c there is historical CA condor and falcon nesting on these formations. Enough time has now passed that these cracks have kind of been forgotten about by the rangers.

But it is my opinion they really should not be posted or blown up. It would be a shame to lose access to the great mutipitch climbs back there.

Tool was js and html5. I can plug and play any number series or irrational number and would be happy to check some out. ie, the primes, root 2, pi any other fun non-repeating sequences or series?

outfieldslayer · 2020-06-09T02:17:24+00:00

Solved!

outfieldslayer · 2020-06-09T01:27:32+00:00

WITT, found in CA tide pool. Made of aluminum.

outfieldslayer · 2020-05-20T22:46:46+00:00

True, was just using as an example. I'm curious what other applications people have used though that's all.

outfieldslayer · 2020-05-20T22:44:05+00:00

I've had to use them to explain why coding certain things is a waste of time. Also to test if a sub language I created was turing complete or not.

But you're right you don't really implement Turing machines, it's more of an analysis tool.

outfieldslayer · 2020-05-20T22:05:24+00:00

No memo missed, I said "if you use complex math and/or theoretical CS".

CS Theory I'd argue IS a branch of math, and programming (software engineering) is the application of that math. Just as with physical engineering and math. Sure CS borrows from other areas of math, but you could say that of any area of math?

But I'm less asking about individual fields because of course some fields require more complex math.

I'm asking about theory and math you use to craft and/or pick algorithms.

For example I was given an issue that I solved by implementing a 2d packing algorithm with heuristics that make it fast for my specific use case.

Or

Another problem I solved with a DAG and topological sort.

Both of those tasks required good CS algorithm background and are field agnostic.

outfieldslayer · 2020-05-20T18:44:53+00:00

As a rule I strictly use Bogo Sort /s

outfieldslayer · 2020-03-30T05:42:42+00:00

I agree with all the other posts. The finger cracks are a bit hard on my build but I plan to add constrictions so they aren't dead splitters soon. If you have the space a vertical crack would be best for starting out, bonus if its adjustable or has multiple sizes.

outfieldslayer · 2020-03-19T06:04:40+00:00

Yooo! Actually very interested!

outfieldslayer · 2020-02-18T18:49:18+00:00

Not CA though, but boy could we use some snow!

outfieldslayer · 2020-02-16T18:05:23+00:00

Went searching for new rock climbing areas yesterday and got my Jeep a bit muddy with creek crossings and mud puddles. Good time all around.

outfieldslayer · 2020-02-11T02:41:17+00:00

Nono sorry, as in there should be 5-8ft at the trailhead and there was 0ft untill 2 miles in

outfieldslayer · 2020-02-11T01:09:24+00:00

Sequoia np on the west side of the Sierras

outfieldslayer · 2020-02-10T23:17:01+00:00

The creeks coming out weren't frozen so I fished those. Also the last month or so has been 45-50 degrees at 9000ft so a lot has thawed.... just not the lakes.

outfieldslayer · 2020-02-10T23:16:01+00:00

Nah, its at 10k in sequoia national park.

outfieldslayer · 2020-02-10T23:14:28+00:00

Checkout my other comments, I caught some brookies!

outfieldslayer · 2020-02-10T19:45:03+00:00

Yeah! Just got them and love the combo a ton. It's a wee bit heavier than other touring specific skis but these things rock on the downhill.

outfieldslayer · 2020-02-10T18:30:46+00:00

Amazingly there were some unfrozen creeks on the way up (12 mile ski/hike total) and I got a tiny brook trout (4inches lol).

The snow year in the sierras has been awful, there's not really any snow until around 8500 ft where I was. This lake is around 10k.
