400, I got my boots from the same shop a few weeks earlier so they knocked 40 off which was nice. I also split them with my mom as a graduation present so technically I only payed 200. Moms are the best

DayManYeah dude being able to communicate with your belayer when you’re out of sight/hearing range is totally super lame
bought them mostly for BC skiing anyway
I've climbed thousands upon thousands of pitches of both rock and ice around the world and never once have needed a radio. Rope signals are entirely adequate and the less useless gear dangling off me the better. The consensus on Rocky Talkies is that they are significantly overpriced and marketed specifically to the yuppie look-at-me crowd. But hey, they probably look "cool" to your friends, clipped right next to your hexes and your PAS.

Lmao. I've climbs thousands upon thousands of routes as well. These are useful in many scenarios. Rope drag completely eliminates rope signals. Wind eliminates communication. They have their use.

Never climb with iFlip - noted. Thanks for clearing that up right out of the gate
Safety surpasses steeze in climbing no matter what and if you are as experienced as you say you are you should know that

If you need a walkie talkie to feel safe I pity you. Do a little research. Read some climbing forums. Rocky Talkies are to climbing what Ruroc helmets are to skiing. We could make the same exact argument using Rurocs and safety and no one would hate on the idea that someone would laugh.
No hate was implied. I merely said I would laugh. And I would. Lighten up.

Bought one of those tape to aux adapter things. It works but makes a loud enough clicking sound that I keep think my blinker is on. Might add a stereo to the list of truck items.

I've used an fm transmitter thing for yearrrrsssss and it's done alright

I've used them in the past but I hate them when driving long distances where the radio frequency that normally works becomes an actual station and you're constantly trying to change frequency.

I forgot about that, you're right that's pretty annoying and you don't have to go that far to get interference sometimes
SchizoSkierThey don’t really work in littleton, or I was never able to find a good frequency so I just bought a new stereo with apple car play a while back

I always just buy the shit ones from best buy. If they don't work well I return. Last one lasted 6 years. Went out last week. Took me about 9 tries to get a decent one.

Can usually snag a good named brand in dash CD unit with Bluetooth/AUX inputs for around $125-150. Should go into your ride pretty easy, wire harness and possibly a plastic pocket if you have the factory double din radio. Let me know if you got any questions. Installed all that stuff into cars for many years.

I'll eventually go that route. Right now still shaking the rig down and getting the essentials straight before I work on amenities.
I haven’t changed my preset stations in years, as I usually use Bluetooth. Some are from when I lived in different areas. When I go to my presets, a good chunk of them are mariachi band stations here lol

Was ordering books for school today and splurged on myself, ordered "Parallel Lives" by Olivier Schwauren, a super wild graphic novel that explores fururism through a collection of short stories. Read it a couple of times from the library and loved it so I copped a personal copy, not only is it thought-provoking and hilarious, but the artwork in it is so unique and vibrant.
Like this example from "Mr.Yellow" which tells an entire story in two pages, by simply packing 80ish tiny panels into each page:
