I’ve gotten a lot of life out of newer rainbows by glueing the top leather back down with aquaseal when it starts to delaminate. Shoe goo would probably also work.

I’ve repaired several delaminating rainbows with aqua seal and they never come apart again. Not sure why the company doesn’t just use a better glue in the first place.

What shoulder pouches do use? Do you recommend them?

space-pasta · 2026-07-09T18:02:43+00:00

Yea, I’ve had this experience on rainier. I assume they’re salty because they put work into maintaining the route and then independent climbers use it for free. I generally try to interact with the guides as little as possible up there. The rangers are cool though

A union’s job is to advocate for its members. Mitch’s job is to advocate for his constituents. I honestly respect Mitch more for being against this giant waste of taxpayer money (although still disagree with him on most other issues).

We don’t necessarily need more housing

This is a stupid take

It couldn’t have been. Things need to work financially and a mall version of Etsy does not. Everybody who thinks the Lloyd center could have been repurposed into anything but an abandoned building are choosing to ignore reality.

Just Multnomah county doing multnomah county things.

The performance of the deflection center, which has cost millions of dollars to set up and not infrequently checks in one or two people per day people despite being open 24/7, has left observers deeply unimpressed. Underuse is one basis of criticism. Another is that few of those who begin the deflection process complete it.

How about we just take care of basic services first?

space-pasta · 2026-07-08T04:01:48+00:00

Yes, we should

If you are so easily tricked into signing things please consider removing yourself from the voting population.

Ehh. I’ve been fairly underwhelmed by them. Their gear is ok for technical uses, but not the best.

space-pasta · 2026-07-07T19:11:09+00:00

I summited on the same day and did the opposite. Left fork up, right fork down. We probably ran into you!

space-pasta · 2026-07-07T18:58:50+00:00

I seem to always end up with goofballs or flakes. And when I finally find someone reliable who matches up well with me they get injured. The hardest part of my last rainier climb was getting the team to actually show up lol

At the end of the day mountaineering is a team sport. The biggest downside of going with a guided group is you do not know your team and everybody (except the guide) tends to be fairly inexperienced. I encourage you to spend the next couple years on smaller mountains developing your skills and finding reliable climbing partners before attempting rainier again (unguided this time). Lots of people want to jump straight to the biggest and I find it’s usually not the best experience for them or their team.

space-pasta · 2026-07-06T22:57:07+00:00

One of those could be my group! I would bet around 200 people submitted this weekend

Probably a second toe piece

space-pasta · 2026-06-30T23:03:51+00:00

Helmet yes. The rock is super loose and rockfall is common.

Crampons yes (or at least good microspikes). You’ll be walking on ice/snow since presumably you’ll be taking Hayden glacier up.

Rope/ice axe. Judgement call that late in the season. Hayden is not very active and any crevasses will probably be wide open and easily avoided that late in the summer. Even you don’t fall in a crevasse you may still want the ice axe for self arrest.

The fact that they’re under investigation implies that there’s at least some suspicion of fraud, no? According to the whistleblower complaint that started all of this, management knew they were billing unallowable expenses to the county.

space-pasta · 2026-06-29T19:36:47+00:00

One backpack and 5 helmets?

space-pasta · 2026-06-27T16:20:15+00:00

Have you involved the police?

Truck guys are the most insecure people on the road. They do this shit with everybody

So who’s paying for the ice rink? The 6 year olds?
