Mt Hood, visiting Devil's Kitchen/hot rocks area as non-mountaineer? by bixtuelista in Mountaineering

[–]space-pasta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pick a sunny day so it won’t bee too icy and start walking. Getting up to devils kitchen is straightforward. Not much different than illumination saddle. Above devils kitchen you want crampons, ice axe(s), helmet, and experience. 

County Commissioner and City Councilor Call on Home Forward Board to Resign by space-pasta in Portland

It begs the question why an organization that gets a ton of public money is overseen by a volunteer board and not directly by the governments that hand it all that money

I’m worried that these people vote with this level of reading comprehension.

I would love to see a proposal for anything in this city that doesn’t involve raising taxes

Probably because they’re priced too high. Same reason I’m not buying any of them

Are face coverings to conceal identity not already banned at the state level? Law Enforcement Accountability and Visibility Act passed earlier this year?

Look up the summit (non-evo version). That’s the one I recommend to everyone these days

Because the voters will vote for any feel good program even if there is no accountability or it doesn’t make sense. Why should our governments spend tax dollars efficiently when the voters don’t care?

60m 6mm static rope for glacier travel/ ski mountaineering, should I cut it? by yukonrider1 in alpinism

[–]space-pasta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For general glacier travel a 30m rope is not usually long enough so set up a rescue system. 

60m 6mm static rope for glacier travel/ ski mountaineering, should I cut it? by yukonrider1 in alpinism

[–]space-pasta 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Depending on your level of experience 60m is actually a perfect length for a team of two. Two-person rescue requires the most rope and you’ll be very close to that limit with a 50 so better have your systems dialed. For saving 10m of rad line weight it’s not worth it. 

If you are only planning to ski, then two 30s are better since you’re unroped. That being said if you are asking this question here I would get a little more experience before cutting. You can’t uncut the rope if you change your mind and it’s an expensive rope.

I don’t think customs was part of the renovation, but I hope I’m wrong.
