I call that bullshit until owls give up the monopoly on every fucking fun event/gathering you can attend. Meeting with friends? Yeah let's do this in the fucking night!! Concert or a party? God damn midnight would be sufficient. What? You want to have a fun time at reasonable time of fucking day? Boo opressor go to hell

Monopoly my ass. You morning people are just too lame to organize things that don't fucking suck.

Every once in a while someone forces me awake on a weekend morning, and I'm appalled by how eventless and boring it is until like noon anyway.

Ha, come hang with me in the summer on a Saturday. We’ll start climbing a 14,000 foot mountain (thats like 4600 meters for my EU friends) at 5/6am with intent on reaching the peak before 12. Why 12? Because the afternoon thunderstorms are rolling in and lets just say lightning is electrifying at 14000…. Well, at any height really.

Boring, never.

Hiking before sunup is dangerous, so be sure to only do it when the dangers from late hiking grow to be larger or if there is a significant prize to be gained from finishing early (pizza)

Check out the sunrise times in the summer. 5am, we’re seeing dawn breaking. I’m not hiking in the dark, nor on a trail I don’t know. Also, flashlights help for those 20 min.

Yup, it is very often that the risk trade-off favours starting early. There's a term alpine start for a reason. Whether it's impending weather later in the day, or snow conditions will warm increasing avalanche risk, or the objective is just so long you want to make sure you're back down on the easy bit. Had the latter last month. Did a traverse is seven summits and even with the 6am start it was dark by the time we got down from the ridge and back into the valley. Trail ran our way out by headlamps, singing dumb songs to not spook any grizzlies. Such a good outing!

Sounds terrible. Where I live, the marine layer doesn't even recede until afternoon anyway. The sun basically doesn't get up until twelve. Why do I have to be?

You've cured my insomnia. Thanks for the snooze.

(I'm just horsing around, please don't hate me, I love you)
