i get that the thread has a justifiable hate for everest climbers, how does the thread feel about alpinists? is climbing the alps okay

Deptfordx posted:I believe rowing is one of those sports where people skew older, Steve Redgrave was pushing 40 when he won his last Gold medal at the Olympics ive noticed rock climbing also seems that way (outdoor sport and boulder, not necessarily alpine style or indoor competition styles). i think it probably has something to do with the long time required to develop the ligamenture and connective tissue associated with absolute finger strength + endurance, as contrasted with the relatively quick development of skeletal muscle

Anne Whateley posted:May I direct the thread’s attention to Arctic Ascent, a new National Geographic series (on Disney+ or your parents’ cable). Alex Honnold, with climbers Hazel Findlay and Mikey Schaefer, lead a group up a huge fuckoff rock wall in Greenland to do climate science. It’s more responsible than Free Solo in that they’re roped in and belaying each other. Everything else about the location and specifics is way worse, like having to walk 100 miles to even get to the mountain, avoiding murder icicles and polar bears, and dealing with lovely crumbling rock the whole climb. this looks sick, thanks

PittTheElder posted:I feel like the issue with a space forum in GBS is that it would immediately turn into an Elon-posting thread and then all the space regulars (myself included) would abandon it thats a good point. the gbs elon thread is a cesspit and the actual space thread sometimes struggles to stay on track and avoid hate bonering over elon. im considering starting a gbs space thread as i would definitely follow it closely and could moderate it but yeah i dunno. i;ll think on it
