Word. Tell 'em, spesh!

You might get sewing machine ARM though! No prob', helps you campus faster.

While we're quibbling over minutiae, people, the phrase is "for all intents and purposes", not "for all intensive purposes". Sheesh!

No, you goobs! The answer is to climb harder, or at least steeper. You won't get SML if you don't need to use your feet!

Y'mean Ecodefense?

Hm? Huh? Ehhhh ...

Heaven's sakes! Looks like the yuppie-infested multi-sport complex known as Club Sport, formerly Costco SportsNation, aka SportsNazi. Although the crowd density looks pretty close to an average weeknight at the PRG. , though, they're working on the foundations for the new gym right now. Should be done late this year.

Another good one is to hold the injured arm in front of you, bent 90 degrees straight up. Grab just above the elbow with your other hand, and straighten the injured arm out in front of you, hand open, palm up. Keeping the injured arm steady with the other hand, and with your fingers spread out, slowly rotate your hand to the inside (i.e. if it's your left hand, you'll be describing a clockwise arc with your thumb; if it's your right hand, counterclock.) as far as you can, and hold it for a bit. You'll know when you've got it right 'cause you can really feel it pulling that tennis elbow tendon. Nice. Them tennis elbow braces are great, too.

Yeah, they suffered along with ruined joints that didn't function properly and never would.

Your new bowling team is called what?

You're right, Tecate is ass. Anyway, DFA wouldn't have bought them fancy chips in the first place had they not been on sale for a mere 99 cents (regularly $2.79). So you see, between the price, the fancy green bag, and the word "tequila" on the package, DFA had to buy them. There was just no way around it. The Tecate was just a mistake, plain and simple.

You chumps are the walking embodiment of "pathetic." Seek medical attention from Dr. Kevorkian, losers.

Cables and epoxy holding it up? That hunk of choss is no better than one of them sport routes at Mt. Potosi! What a disgrace. Some hardcore traddies probably knocked it down in a heroic show of purist vigilantism.

Speaking of chips; those new Kettle chips, the Jalapeno Lime Tequila flavored ones, in the nifty green bag? They are not very good, so don't waste your $$$. Fuckin' potato chip disappointment, is what those chips are. Sad times. Their dismal flavor was unabetted even by a couple cans of Tecate, which, it turns out, is also not that great, and a total ripoff at 5+ dollars a sixer. Negra Modelo it ain't, folks.

people with class, mofo - something you don't have This from the man whose very nature is to take the cl out of "class." Nice.

Yeah ... helmet ... right! Good thing! Not that a climbing helmet would have done shit in that situation.

Fuggin' overprotective locals. Share the wealth, dood! Pimpin' pad-people party posse all the way!

Lessee, here ... Scariest was an ~30-footer off a local crag in Southern Oregon. Seems the brand new 10.2mm rope (when 10.2mm was really skinny)/ATC combo was a little slippery, and what should have been a short fall (like 6 or 8 feet) kept going. Belayer managed to get control of the rope as DFA came to a stop about a foot from the ground, smack dab between the base of the crag and a big boulder. It was a traversing move with high footholds, so the Doctor was essentially horizontal, and if the fall had been completed to the deck, would have meant landing directly on the spine and smacking the skull on the rocky ground. Otherwise, 20+ feet peeling from the crux of Churning and coming to a stop around the 2nd bolt. Nice clean fall, though.

There's nothing besides the golf course, Sisters boulders, Meadow Camp, Tick Ranch, Home Depot boulders, the Zone, Widgi boulders, and the stuff by the river at Mt. Bachelor Village. Of course, that's all from a couple years ago; the locals have got all kinds of new jack areas over there. DFA's advice: hit InClimb, cruise out to the Metolius factory, or lurk at the brewery (pick one) looking for climbers to befriend. You'll get plenty of beta and partners soon enough.

Duly noted!

For the sake of perpetuating a stupid argument on the internet, do these "jammies" not work well, or are they just not as cool as using six rolls of tape every time you go to the crags?

He's prob'ly one of them sorry fuckers with 5.10 feet.

What are you, fuckin' Martha Stewart or some shit? Who has "silver julep cups" for fuck's sake?
