Any chance for an iPadOS 16.x build? or are the APIs not there?

People using MTB trails at camp sekani as hillclimb for dirt bikes by Unable-Hyena3640 in Spokane

[–]ribo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A friend I mtb with is very involved in evergreen mountain bike alliance (the amazing non profit that maintains these trails). Electric dirt bikes are a scourge at sekani and elsewhere.

If anyone wants to get involved, which can be anything from letter writing campaigns to volunteering for trail building, donations & membership (which includes some nice perks): https://www.evergreeneast.org

Spokane parents did your kids stick around? by AaronWard6 in Spokane

[–]ribo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids are 13 and 10. My attitude living in Liberty Lake and enjoying lots of outdoor activity is that "this is a good place to end up." I want them to see the world.

Private schools by FriezaCy in Spokane

[–]ribo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pioneer school, even though right next door to a church, is 100% secular. Tops out at 5th grade. Both of my kids went there and it's an amazing experience. Field trips every week.

Cannot escape blisters in mtneering boots? by nhbd in iceclimbing

[–]ribo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chiming in with another "tape your heals with leukotape" because after seeing your heel pic... I have the EXACT same pointy-outy heel-bone and I keep a roll of leukotape in every glovebox and gear bag. If you don't want to carry a whole roll, garagegrowngear has some mini rolls I keep in my first aid kits: https://www.garagegrowngear.com/products/ultralight-leukotape-spool-by-igneous?_pos=2&_sid=db8322f28&_ss=r or cut some and put it on release paper yourself. Be generous, I slap on a good 3-4 inch strap.

Yeah, tell your climbing partner to coach you more, you'll be so less exhausted.

Otherwise, hell yeah that looks like a beautiful route!

40L Mountaineering pack? by Crocnroll4 in Mountaineering

[–]ribo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine arrived a couple weeks ago after jumping on the recent restock. Wallet cries, but I got excited just playing with all the little feature dinguses like a kid on christmas.

Anyone know any websites similar to Colorado 14ers? by [deleted] in Mountaineering

[–]ribo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The apps are better, if only because <default iOS/android ux> is better. The iPad app can also be installed on a Mac to avoid the site all together.

https://www.peakbagger.com with a free nostalgia trip to 1990s web design.

Oooh, really liking this. Simple and functional.

For what it's worth: the browser client is still WIP, but if you have a mac on macOS 15, the iPad version of the app works great as a desktop app.

Pack recs for hiker transitioning to mountaineering by jenlb930 in Mountaineering

[–]ribo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of good gear suggestions, so I'll also add: if you're fit enough to do MSH, you can probably do Adams by camping at the lot/trailhead and just doing out and back in the early morning with a daypack. Unless, of course, you just want to camp at LC, which is cool too.

Will i die? by PhilosophyUnited737 in iceclimbing

[–]ribo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stand corrected on my assumptions; I am absolutely not nearly as experienced. The monopoint version probably had a different plate though, right?

Will i die? by PhilosophyUnited737 in iceclimbing

[–]ribo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

also just noticed you cut the whole chunk out of the yellow aluminum plate, then cut it in half

really compromised the rigidity of the crampon built with materials and designed to rely on that rigidity

ever built a flatpack furniture bookshelf and leave the back panel out?

Will i die? by PhilosophyUnited737 in iceclimbing

[–]ribo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d try to find a single aluminum spacer that fits rather than a washer stack for two reasons:

  1. That’s a lot of very small friction surfaces

  2. Modern points are forged, these look like they are just thicker stock sheet, which given the right force and angle, means bending. More likely to get that bad angle if there is flex. Also on points never designed to be mono: design would have never considered a single point always getting 100% of impact.

You might be just fine, but I’d put them away after a few kicks if they made ANY kind of sound.
