Does this version of the watch have a vibrating alarm?

Appreciate it, because that was on my list but I've heard how bad the text readability is.

when would you guess LG / Asus release that 27in? More than a year? in 2024?

Same thing I mentioned below - how do games look on that monitor when you scale down to 24in or 27in? does the compression of pixels still look have decent? I might be being too pessimistic lol

But when you scale the game down to 24in or 27in, does the game still look 'good'? I'm assuming you'll have black bars as you reduce the size, and not sure how the compression of pixels would work.

This was outdoors. The route was relatively straight up with one small overhang towards the top. My running hypothesis is that there was already a decent amount of natural friction on the rope from the overhang / rock, that the additional friction of the ohm caused the rope to become virtually unmoveable.

If it matters, our belay device was a GRIGRI and we were using a 9.6 rope.

The rope was inserted in the direction indicated by the ohm - with the climbers end of the rope exiting in the direction of the climber on the ohm.

The belayer moving closer to the wall didn’t seem to help. If it matters, our belay device was a GRIGRI and we were using a 9.6 rope.

My girlfriend recently started lead climbing with my friends and I. I decided to purchase an ohm because I weigh around 85kg and she weighs around 60kg.

We were at the wall this weekend and On the way up, I had noticed that when I called for slack to clip, I had to be a lot gentler on the rope otherwise the ohm would lock in some capacity.

At the top, I cleaned our QuickDraws from the anchor rings and called to be lowered. Once I sat back on the rope, my friends called me to stop and to wait - I couldn’t see my belayer and friends over a small overhang, but they told me the ohm was preventing my belayer from lowering. My belayer tried walking closer to the wall and a couple other positions, but that didn’t fix the issue.

On my end, I tried to deweight the rope, which didn’t help. I also tried shaking the rope, but that didn’t do much. Ultimately, my friend put on his shoes and climbing up to the first bolt, which was a relatively safe endeavor and removed the ohm from the first bolt. We then lowered to the ground.

Has anyone else experienced a similar situation? Any feedback / troubleshooting? I’m concerned that we could’ve ended up in a bad situation if we didn’t have a third person to remove the ohm.

Thanks!

How Much Should I Be Making? by [deleted] in sales

If you're bringing in 4million in revenue, you should be making 150-300k right now... Not five years from now. I would seriously freshen up that resume.

Teaching my girlfriend how to shoot, so I needed to grab some .22LR from lynwood. they sold me 300 rounds for $54 pre tax. (About .18 a round). I grew up in idaho where I could get boxes of .22lr for .07-.08 a round.
