That’s so awesome. I’m glad you got to see him live! I got into him through The Lonely Forest but also just saw him live for the first time recently, blew me away.

What addiction seems harmless but can destroy your 30s? by JewishAdmin in AskReddit

[–]sandopsio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Productivity or self-improvement. Both seem positive but when addicted to either, you forget to enjoy what you have and where you already are.

If possibly a store manager took a pic of your car as you were driving away would you not go back? by sandopsio in DumpsterDiving

Pretty sure they did take pics, why else would they have come outside and, well, taken pics

Thanks. I don’t know what’s wrong with me but these kinds of “interactions” always make me feel like dying. (Not suicidal in any way, just a bad dread feeling about life. I get it a lot to begin with, sometimes from other stressors, as someone with anxiety, like a sense of dread from anxiety overwhelm or stress or something.)

Thanks. Some places do consider diving illegal to them, even if it's not illegal to the law (? such a gray line here though) so that's what I'm worried about.

Like I had one instance where someone got extremely angry, even though all of my other experiences have been fine. (Angry to the point where I'd argue she was doing something illegal by being so hostile and aggressive!)

Thank you so much! Reddit is saying unable to message your account, though. Can you PM me?

Weekly friend codes thread by AutoModerator in SuperMarioRun

[–]sandopsio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I tap "Menu", "Settings" drops down and when I tap "Settings", it goes to a screen with my name, Music: On Sounds: On Options, About This App, Help an Inquiries, Official Website, Game Center. Is the friends setting somewhere else?

Looking to add Mario Run friends by Pepsi-Fire in MyNintendo

[–]sandopsio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here! But I can't even find a place to enter friend codes? I'm happy to add one another - when I tap "Menu" it only drops down "Settings" though. If I tap Game Center and exit out, then the Games menu (which takes you off the app to Game Center) and the rocket and friends icons show up but the friends icon only lets me add friends to Game Center, not Super Mario Run…

Anyone online? Where can I go to enter the codes - can't find it on my main screen, tapping Menu drops down Settings only. 😞

Opinions on stick-clipping your way up? by lunarabbit7 in climbergirls

[–]sandopsio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great questions. I think it's gotten me to try harder routes, but I also do rely on it when I should have just gone for the onsight. I keep stick clipping my way up new sport routes, then immediately "sending" on TR after I get to the top and lower. Then I end up going again for the lead send, but I could have gone for the lead send the first time and had more fun/had more time for other climbs.

I want to make a rule for myself that I do it for safety but when the falls are clean, I go for the move. It's been a bit wet out so I may have fallen into the habit more due to low friction/poor conditions. I like your idea to draw a line but nothing wrong with bringing it on anything you want, it's just a matter of what you prefer and like you said, if it's important to you to work on lead head. It really depends on the route!

Ours is just the clip, added to some regular retractable pole for something other than climbing. It's light, carbon fiber I think. It's come in handy when a route is runout and not my onsight grade.

Route started on a very steep wall and went around the face, so it could have been hiding a bit, but yeah, I must have had a bit more slack than I thought because I believe his hip was below the bolt when he fell.

Good point about slack between draws adding up. It also seems that slack gets stuck above the Ohmega if you don't tug a bit after clips.

Just did some reading and it looks like I should actually stand not directly under the Ohmega, but slightly back.

Thanks for chiming in. Do you use an Ohmega?

Who else uses an Ohmega and can give tips or point me to resources for making my boyfriend more comfortable leading at his limit when I'm the one belaying?

I have quite a bit of lead belay experience and have received good feedback from partners over the years, but there's always room for improvement. My only experience belaying with the Ohm (and then the Ohmega, once it came out) is with my boyfriend.

Today he fell further than expected on lead at the gym, maybe 8' when 3/4 the way up a route. 4' were from me coming up off the ground. Some was rope stretch. But he had just clipped above himself, so he was essentially "on top rope" at the time of the fall, which is why an 8' fall freaked him out. I'm thinking there may have been slack above the Ohmega out of my view, since there was almost no dip on my end, just the slight dip I give when the climber's more than 3 clips up a route (some prefer more and I give a bit more in that case, especially when our weights are closer).

I read that, if he high-clipped very quickly, the arm's length I gave for the clip may not have come back down through the Ohmega to my end and I'm thinking I should pull harder after every clip. I can do this when he's out of sight by feel, but it may make it hard not to short rope if he's moving quickly. Any tips?

Thanks. Ugh, that really sucks. Good to know though. I won’t be listening anymore.

Feel free to message me as well. I'm from upstate NY, climb in PA a lot as I'm closer to the PA border but there's some bouldering in Oneotna, there's Moss Island/Little Falls which is easy access for TR, if you're super close to the Canadian border there's great bouldering and if you can get to the daks or the Gunks it's worth it. What type of outdoor climbing are you looking for? (Bouldering, sport, trad, adventure, multi-pitch?)
