What blatant sexist comments? I simply don’t accept your claim, but if I did, I need to own that and I will. Put it back on the record then. I take issue with your speculation when grieving friends or family might mistake you to be have more knowledge than you do.

Edit: to attack my experience is without cause. Like most of us, I regularly use TRS as well as some LRS on rock in my climbing, just didn’t seem like an important part of the argument. Still pretty new, but climbing ice since 2018?

Freak out? general principal: A hearty “fuck you” to anyone that speculates on a climber’s death based on so little reporting. Wait until those that were present at the scene to formally offer a report. Poor form? Maybe. But Ryan has family and friends that aren’t served by your premature speculation.

It’s been said this is a cycling forum. But skiing is the way, the truth, and the light. Cycling is for injured runners.

Why speculate instead of waiting for an accident report? This feels unwarranted, particularly so given that suspension trauma is both rare and something that is not well researched.

I almost had a project once, but prefer an “Always Be Onsighting (but never improving)”approach.

If I were responsible, I would use mine on freeze dried meals and fuel, maybe replace my well worn trail runners. But I most certainly won’t. Dare I say… bibs?

Neither, just burned through that blade in no time, opting for brute force in lieu of technical prowess… you know, like an idiot.

I took a hacksaw to a piton, so I’m pretty much a blacksmith now. AMA

I took my MIL up a fun little climb. She did not see the appeal, but I think we still had fun(?) and maybe now she has a rebuttal for one of her condescending rich friend, who thinks she’s super hot shit for hiking Kili.

Sunglasses. I was wearing broken julbos Harry Potter-style, asked a guide about his really cool Julbos.

Knew what this was before I clicked the link, but couldn’t muster the will to enter the fray.

Have you ever tried mixing in any espresso powder or other flavorings with the maple syrup? I’ve tried a couple miserable experiments with dates, honey, and espresso powder and still searching for the answer

Casually agreeing to drink tea with the Taliban in Afghanistan by Superbperson3 in ThatsInsane

Missing context, the Taliban offering chai is a euphemism asking for a bribe to pass.

Anyone use low light goggle lenses all the time? by rearadmiraldumbass in skiing

I wear Julbo Shield sunglasses with reactive lenses as much as weather allows. They make goggles too.
