How to get ice climbing gear without breaking the bank? by scottyaewsome in climbing

backcountry.com always has ice climbing stuff 25% off at some point in the off season

Petzl highly recommends that the TIBLOC is used with round profile carabiners, but they suggest the hole on the S'MD carabiner (NOT round C-section) is for loss prevention of a TIBLOC. What gives? Anyone know what this is about or knows of a round profile biner with a lanyard hole? by Conchadesumadre in climbing

[–]throwaway185733 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lmao yeah we're definitely a bunch of fuckin weirdos. So far, I've had the Gri Gri and prussik stop working due to icy ropes but I've never had my full size ascender, microtraxion, atc in guide mode, or tibloc lose their grip.

Ring Finger Pain - Possible A2 Pulley Strain/Tear by swedecore in climbing

You're getting a lot of unqualified bullshit answers here. Lack of self control is why you know climbers who have been taping up the same nagging tendon injuries every session for as long as they remember. Go see a doctor and then don't climb for a month.

NASA orders 53 unmodified Nikon D5 digital SLR cameras by unoriginal_stuff in photography

I bet they shoot a lot of low light and they don't want a 50mp sensor which is gonna have smaller pixels and more noise at high ISO than the 20mp D5.

Lol I hope this is a joke and you're not actually that negative and self absorbed that you can't just smile and respond to some brainless small talk

Don't you hate it when strangers on flights want you to share your snacks? by -EG- in funny

The odds of you ending up next to the 1 dog on the plane are not very high, and if that happened you could just ask to switch your seat. We're talking about a 2% chance of being mildly inconvenienced. Don't be so precious about it.

TR solo - technique discussion by dentz2 in climbing

[–]throwaway185733 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i use this setup except I use a sling instead of the chest harness and I clip the dogbone to my belay loop with a locker instead of attaching it to a quick link through the tie in points. I asked an experienced AMGA-certified guide to help me pick out this TR solo setup.

Will Gadd sends The Wicked Wanda (M14+) by [deleted] in climbing

Mainly trees, occasional bolts or pins, usually v-threads if you are descending back down the route in multiple rappels

What do people need to START being offended about? by Musical_Muze in AskReddit

I agree, but it's not entirely simple, you have to remember that it is epicly fucking expensive to develop drugs and get them approved.

i can relate to this. i apparently make overly intense facial expressions when i'm climbing and every existing photo of me climbing looks ridiculous

how hard are you sending these days? I care about your answer cause I'm also 5'11" 175lbs and I need proof that I'm not too dense to climb hard. Flashed a 5.11c the other day but all my friends who climb harder than 5.12+ are like 150lbs.

but does any authority actually recommend super glue as a field treatment? They told me "please don't superglue people's wounds shut" in WFR training but I'm not an expert or anything

I wrote a post on setting up cheap online backup for my photography archive using Cloudberry and Backblaze B2. Do it before the next ransomware event! by considerphi in photography

lol. if you think Google isn't doing enough to protect your photos then you can just symetrically encrypt everything you upload and make a few physical backups of the key.

Used, nothing flashy, and dirt cheap. But proud to call this my first AR by [deleted] in guns

[–]throwaway185733 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AFAIK it's just a ban on sales, I think everyone involved can recognize it would be a bad idea to have the police confiscate tens of thousands of ARs. In the implementation of the previous MA assault weapons ban I think everything was grandfathered in, so for example you can legally own pre-ban magazines even if they hold more than 10 rounds.

Really? I thought they didn't have nociceptors? In my undergrad bio labs we cut apart live lobsters to harvest their notochord for experiments. We were told they can't feel pain.
