It was covered in tags that encouraged meme insults and shitposting because it was just so fuckin dumb.

Cerekk posted:Mt. Adams is one of the easiest mountains of its height to summit and can be done in a day. Denali is almost twice as high as Mt. Adams and climbing it is a three week expedition. Going to requote with some bolding: quote:My girlfriend’s friend, Rosie, and I turn out to both love mountaineering! We’ve become such great friends from our common interest. We have the goal of doing Denali together by the end of next year and have been training by doing Rainier (along with general conditioning, etc.) and we will do a Denali prep course together probably in Feb-Apr 2023. Maybe if he hadn't insisted that training on Mt. Rainier is his special Rosie time she'd be ready for the Denali prep course he's also excluding her from? Just a thought.

He repeatedly made it impossible to make any steps with them to get good enough to hike up anything they deem significant and is now using that as reasoning to exclude her further. He needs to accept that his mountaineering "hobby" that has him spend a significant amount of his time with Rosie is incompatible with a relationship with his girlfriend instead of whining about how irrational it is for her to expect to actually take part in a significant part of his life. Edit: if what you're saying is that it is just flat impossible for her to ever take part in this no matter what she does, he's the rear end in a top hat for keeping this relationship going if nothing else. He should get his climbing gear out of his rear end, do the honorable thing, and just break up with her. It's not fundamentally about how tough rear end climb hard this poo poo is, it's about him spending most of his time being away from her and excluding her from important things he does but expecting this relationship to work out if she were just reasonable.

Mountain climbing is hard. Climbing Denali is very hard. Nobody is disputing that. The girlfriend can climb mountains, but is not accomplished/experienced/skillful enough of a mountain climber to attempt Denali. Again, nobody is disputing this. Girlfriend is annoyed that OP is explicitly denying her opportunities on easier mountains to gain said experience/skill/etc. so she can become good enough to accompany him and Rosie on their Denali expedition. This is the relevant "relationship" issue here.

The question posed in the post is if he’s an rear end in a top hat for not bringing his girlfriend on a climb that has a solid chance of killing her if she isn’t up to snuff and for that at least I’d say no, he’s not the rear end in a top hat. The relationship is definitely on the rocks though. Heh.

Just replace Dinari with K2 or non-Nepali tour guide climbing Evererst. People don't (always) divorce to go climb those things, they do form strong platonic bonds with people that have the same energy and commitment to achieve those goals. Old mate assessed his partner as not having the fortitude to keep up with the pace he was setting in his hobby but does see that energy in a platonic friend. Besides, you don't have to do everything with your partner, even if your partner wants you to.

Nor even their locations. (He mentions that his Denali trip would be a trip across the country, I think?) But as I read it, the issue is not t his specific trip. But more that the girlfriend is pissed off that he spends so much time alone with Rosie, doing a thing that the girlfriend is physically unable to do, (climb difficult mountains). And when the girlfriend shows an interest in doing this thing, (climbing mountains), and gains some small proficiency, he doesn't go with/help/support her as she tries to get better on the smaller/easier mountains, but instead chooses to spend more time alone with Rosie doing the difficult mountains that the girlfriend can't do. That's what I meant.

She ain't going to get good enough to climb Denali by next year, and she sure as hell isn't experienced enough to climb Mr. Rainier as it is. Like, there could be an argument he's not spending enough time with her, though that's not at all spelled out in the post, and he's done easier climbs with her. It says so right there. But she's just not going to be able to get the experience in for Denali in that time frame. And I'm not even seeing where you're apparently finding any "inferior woman" sexism or whatever. The relationship is going to be in trouble, one way or the other, but what she wants is impossible.

I will spend time with your best friend so we could condition ourselves to climb what would otherwise be dangerous, and exclude you from that training so I can then absolutely rationally, with respect to the holy mountains of Rainier and Denali, tell you that you just can't go there because it's unsafe.
