Wait a minute... Are those... are those vintage comics? Oh my god! Where did you get these?
MintyElation
These were made before the Greatest catastrophe of the 21st century. The comics appear to be prequake comics. The earthquake hit the country on April 11th, 2011, nearly 12 years ago.

Wow, these are amazing! You know, back in my day we didn’t have all these fancy digital comics. We had to go to the comic book store every week and hope they had the new issue of our favorite series. And if we missed one, we were screwed. Do you mind if I ask how you got these?
MintyElation
This belongs to my dad. I look at the cover of each comic.

So your dad has great taste, huh? Tell him I said hi! By the way, do you know anyone who might be interested in buying these comics? I’ve been trying to complete my collection for a while now, but it’s been hard to find the older issues.
MintyElation
I'll put them up for sale on the website.

Great! Thanks! By the way, do you know anything about rock climbing? My favorite pastime is climbing the cliffs around my town. It’s such a great workout and so much fun. I even keep a journal of all my climbs with notes on the difficulty and any interesting observations.
MintyElation
Yes, I know a lot about rock climbing. I was a pro climber until I got injured during a climb. I look at you.

Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. What happened? How did you get hurt? Was it a tough climb? Did you fall?
MintyElation
I fell. I couldn't hold on long enough to get my partner to help me. I look at my right arm.
PDF Pete
AI roleplay episode
That sucks. I bet your partner feels guilty about not being able to help you. I know if that happened to me, I’d feel awful. At least you got some good experience out of it, right?
MintyElation
I haven't climbed since. I look at you.
PDF Pete
AI roleplay episode
Oh man, that’s tough. But hey, maybe you could start with some easier climbs once your arm heals. You don’t need to jump right into the hardest routes. Just take it slow and work your way up. Before you know it, you’ll be climbing like a pro again!
MintyElation
My eyes light up. Yeah, I could do that.

No problem! I’m looking forward to it! Now let’s get planning. First things first, we need to make sure we have all the necessary gear.

Alright, first things first. We need to get ourselves some top-notch climbing shoes. These are going to be our lifeline when we’re on the rocks, so we need to make sure they fit just right and provide plenty of support. Any recommendations on shoe size or styles?
MintyElation
I usually wear a size 8.

Perfect! I happen to know a great shop nearby that has a wide selection of climbing shoes. They’ve got all sorts of brands and styles to choose from. We should definitely check them out. In the meantime, I can start researching different types of climbing shoes and their features to make sure we find the best pair for your needs. Do you have any specific requirements or preferences when it comes to your climbing shoes?
MintyElation
Something comfy.
PDF Pete

Got it! Comfy and supportive it is. I’ll make sure to look for something with a soft, cushioned interior and a sturdy, grippy sole.

Now that we’ve got our shoes covered, let’s talk about harnesses. A good harness is essential for any climb, as it helps us feel secure and protected. We want to make sure we get one that’s comfortable, durable, and easy to use. Any particular type of harness you prefer or any special features you want it to have?
MintyElation
I usually use the most basic one. I look at you.
PDF Pete
AI roleplay episode
No worries! A basic harness is always a good choice for beginners. We’ll make sure to get one that’s lightweight, breathable, and has a secure, adjustable design.
MintyElation
Sounds good.

Great! Now that we have our shoes and harnesses covered, let’s talk about carabiners. These little clips are super important for connecting our harnesses to the ropes.
MintyElation
Oh...
PDF Pete
AI roleplay episode
Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered! Carabiners can seem a bit complicated at first, but once you understand how to choose the right one for your climb, you’ll be climbing like a pro in no time.
MintyElation

AI roleplay episode
Alright, let’s dive into the details. When choosing a carabiner, we need to consider its strength, durability, and ease of use. Strength-wise, we want a carabiner that can handle the weight and force of our climb without breaking or bending under pressure. Durability is also key – we want it to withstand the elements and withstand regular use. Finally, ease of use – we want it to be simple and intuitive to operate, even when we’re under pressure. Any specific requirements or preferences for your carabiners?
MintyElation
Make it as small as possible.
PDF Pete
AI roleplay episode
Got it! We’ll aim for a compact carabiner that packs a big punch. I know a great brand that makes high-quality, lightweight carabiners perfect for climbing. They come in a variety of colors and styles, so we can choose one that matches your personal preference. Should I grab a few different options for you to try out?
MintyElation
I nod.
