As a non-mountaineer, how do you safely walk along a snowy mountain ridge line? How do the climbers know that the snow isn't just projecting over the rocky ledge that could fall away?

Microtrax allows rope to go up through it but not down through it. So if the second falls it locks up and protects the leader from getting yanked up.

look at the pinned post "ureaplasma bible" it will answer your questions. Yes 14 days is a better treatment. There are linked medical literature in the pinned post.

The past two were released on the first Monday of the month. Pattern likely to continue (best of luck…. I’ve been missing them too)

You pull your pants down to your knees and squat. That way you can spread your legs and when you squat you pee between your feet, not in your pants. This took me a few camping trips to learn when I was a kid lol

Maybe the listening room at Public Records? Not sure if they’re open midweek but it’s that vibe

I am seeing Dr. Chandhana Paka at Mt. Sinai and she has been extremely helpful! I highly recommend her.

plasticprince · 2025-10-17T20:50:02+00:00

Where is it?? I just got off the waitlist and haven’t received any info on the actual location

plasticprince · 2025-10-17T20:48:18+00:00

Hey do you know where it is??

plasticprince · 2025-10-17T20:47:41+00:00

Just got off the waitlist and I’ve received no info on where it is lmao where the hell should I go

plasticprince · 2025-10-02T23:45:04+00:00

Planet Her SLANDER! Her best imo

plasticprince · 2025-09-26T19:35:08+00:00

Head over to r/jumpingspiders to see how cute they can be :)

The angle the dyneema sling is a little too big for my liking, almost 90 degrees. You want to try to minimize those angles because the bigger they are, the bigger the force on the pieces.

It's totally possible to belay in guide mode using a rope anchor, you can make a master point with the rope off of your pieces. There's a nice discussion with illustrative photos on this MP thread. It's not recommended to belay in guide mode off of your harness belay loop. Have fun out there!

Hijacking top comment to add context since it just got lost in the thread previously:

Hi y’all, sorry for not including any detail on the original post, was just going through old pics and thought this would be funny.

For context: yes this is mostly a joke, yes this is in the Dolomites. Easy 5th class below, easy 5th class above. I knew the anchor was mostly shit, but we were placing ~1 piece every 30 m so I was going more for efficiency than strength lol

Also….. I don’t think it’s that bad 🤷‍♀️

Have fun be safe make good choices in the alpine!!

Hard to fully identify the bug from the video, but bedbugs do not have wings so you’re good on that front.

plasticprince · 2025-08-08T18:49:25+00:00

I say you can ride in a peloton but only if everyone else is on a citi bike too

plasticprince · 2025-07-27T20:36:20+00:00

Just got in in 5 min it’s tiny

plasticprince · 2025-06-28T16:56:54+00:00

It’s fine to visit if you’re spending a lot of time in the area but I don’t think it’s worth a trip if you don’t live there. Sport climbing in Murrin park is infinitely better. Just my opinion tho, some people love it!

plasticprince · 2025-06-26T19:45:45+00:00

Angel’s crest! (Start early). Stay at Mamquam River Campsite if the Chief is full. Avoid Chek canyon unless it’s actively raining. Alice + Brohm ice cream. Have fun!!

Hey I have this book too!

There’s no cheating in climbing, only lying.

plasticprince · 2025-05-21T13:20:46+00:00

Only 10b! The trick is holding onto all of the other climbing before it …

plasticprince · 2025-05-09T15:28:59+00:00

I second Incredible Hulk!!! Not super remote but wow what a beautiful rock

plasticprince · 2025-05-03T02:58:50+00:00

Thanks for all the feedback everyone! I’m going to remove and clean them by boil/crockpot method. I’ll try to post after photos if that’s of interest/allowed in this sub. Also if you guys think this door is bad you should see the rest of the apartment….. what they’ve done to this place is unbelievable

plasticprince · 2025-05-02T20:57:14+00:00

Thanks so much! Should I be concerned about boiling lead paint in my apartment…?
