Coopers???

North end of Woodland Park has some REALLY nice covered BBQ areas... And the scenery is hard to beat... Easy parking and I did not see very much in the way of patrols...

I believe it is aspirin that is the worst for bleeding. It inhibits platelet aggregation irreversibly. The other NSAID to too but in reversible fashion. Fairweather mentioned the antihistamine Benedryl. I second that. It can be used in case of allergic reaction, as in the case of bee stings, and it can help stop high altitude coughing (at least it had that effect on me). It also helps you get to sleep. Benedryl... the wonderdrug... I don't know about the other NSAIDS being more reversable than asprin. All I know is that they all make people bleed more.

city of rocks, Camping when I went down was easy, just pull in on a weekday, and keep the spot as long as you want (i can't remember the fee's thougth, sorry) The only think to be aware of for the kiddy, is that the granite there is REALLY sharp, and eats finger tips like nothing I'd been on before. There are lots of great bumbly routes, it is still one of the best trips I've ever been a part of... And the scenery (if you like rocks) is so astonishing. Take a camera... Go for it!!!

synchros = stiff ass shoes... Hope they work! I had a pair that I used for long crack climbs... (now I can say "you gotta climb in the syncros" and not just "you gotta climb in you mtn boots")

Uh, I thougth there was a tacoma one in the past 3 or 4 weeks... Am I mistaken?

Seattle Seattle.... I'm not on call for a change, and might acutally make it and enjoy a beer (or two)

I worked all weekend. Way to go sending some routes Distal, be they boulder or multipitch... Wish I were out enjoying the weather... Does the Dog Park after work count? Ignore the jealous ones... Keep up the good work!

One thing no one has mentioned here is that the NSAID's make you bleed more, and Tylenol in very high doses can damage the liver. There is just no right answer is there (other than not getting injured in the first place)

I vote for the ballroom, but it sort of doesn't count, since I'm on call and could only play pool...

What is it about climbers and dogs... Will no one else be our friends??? Kidding... I think we need a dog day get together too!!!!

And the best part about Mangnuson is for those of us with dogs, they can wear themselves out at the off leash area pre-BBQ, and will be nice and mellow at the 'Q.

Didn't some guy fall about 3 years back soloing on the cable out at Banks Lake? Broke himself real bad and crawled to the road (not really that far if you know the area)

Some friends and I invaded the cloud room once, we were dressed in yuppie biker gear, so they were not going to let us in, so we "found" our way into the dining section, and then when they caught us, said we'd gotten lost on our way to the bathroom...

I was just going to recommend a big piece of paper, or a 8X11 climbing picture... I don't know if he'll be there next weekend for me to give it to him, but if he has friends on the board, maybe we can give it to them to give to him... But, if we think a card would be better, I'll bring a card to PC.

Good Plan!

Harborview Medical Center currently, then to a care facility this week hopefully... Yes, let's make him a card at PC! Great Idea!

So what is wrong with 10pm???? Tuesday is in fact a school night... I see nothing wrong with it... Those who want to keep drinking can move to another venue after Hales...

Went to see Dino this weekend, he may be getting out in a few days. He's bored and says that it would be great to get visitors... Ehmic mentioned posting our well wishes, printing them, and giving him a copy... Great Idea! Let's do it!

Increasing speed, heh heh... like the treadmill, till you flash pump and fall off. They have a gymnastic pad at the base of it. Hmm... Oddly enough, I've never seen it being used.

they have a "treadwall" in Sound body and mind on lk union. I have been meaning to go try it out...

Lake city way... can't miss it..

All month... Anyone up for a beer?

yeah, but these are broken in And already know how to climb ice... you know how many seasons it takes to teach your tools to behave... If he's been a good owner, then they could be worth their weight in gold!!

sweet!
