Oh, sorry, dude, that wasn't meant as some wise-ass quip like "oh, you should climb at the gym instead of outside." The point was that heaps of people climb there on weeknights, so it's a good place to meet a lot of climbers and find some like-minded individuals who may want to hit the crags with you. Just trying to help a brother out!

See? Sports climbing is the future, you stodgy alpine goats! And don't worry, there are some nice loose-fitting cotton/lycra blends available these days so you don't have to look like Stefan Glowacz circa 1988.

This got posted before, you maroons!

Hmm ... joy.

The companies want something done about this sluggish world economic situation Profits have been running a little thin lately and we need to stimulate some growth Now we know there's an alarmingly high number of young people roaming around in your country with nothing to do but stir up trouble for the police and damage private property. It doesn't look like they'll ever get a job It's about time we did something constructive with these people We've got thousands of 'em here too. They're crawling all over The companies think it's time we all sit down, have a serious get-together- And start another war The President? He loves the idea! All those missiles streaming overhead to and fro Napalm People running down the road, skin on fire The Soviets seem up for it: The Kremlin's been itching for the real thing for years. Hell, Afghanistan's no fun So whadya say? We don't even have to win this war. We just want to cut down on some of this excess population Now look. Just start up a draft; draft as many of those people as you can. We'll call up every last youngster we can get our hands on, hand 'em some speed, give 'em an hour or two to learn how to use an automatic rifle and send 'em on their way Libya? El Salvador? How 'bout Northern Ireland? Or a "moderately repressive regime" in South America? We'll just cook up a good Soviet threat story in the Middle East-we need that oil We had Libya all ready to go and Colonel Khadafy's hit squad didn't even show up. I tell ya That man is unreliable. The Kremlin had their fingers on the button just like we did for that one Now just think for a minute-We can make this war so big-so BIG The more people we kill in this war, the more the economy will prosper We can get rid of practically everybody on your dole queue if we plan this right. Take every loafer on welfare right off our computer rolls Now don't worry about demonstrations-just pump up your drug supply. So many people have hooked themselves on heroin and amphetamines since we took over, it's just like Vietnam. We had everybody so busy with LSD they never got too strong. Kept the war functioning just fine It's easy. We've got our college kids so interested in beer they don't even care if we start manufacturing germ bombs again. Put a nuclear stockpile in their back yard, they wouldn't even know what it looked like So how 'bout it? Look-War is money. The arms manufacturers tell me unless we get our bomb factories up to full production the whole economy is going to collapse The Soviets are in the same boat. We all agree the time has come for the big one, so whadya say?!? That's excellent. We knew you'd agree The companies will be very pleased. The most vocal right-wing, pro-war, pro-gun, pro-violence, anti-gay, anti-environment guy on the board is quoting the Dead Kennedys. Fucking dumbass! You're probably all for the "new" DKs too, huh?

Finally, something for you folks with them ice picks and tampons or whatever those pointy spike things are.

As far as prevention goes, what about the new backpack airbag technology, whereby one might become huge and float nearer the surface of the avy? How about survival odds with something like the Avalung and beacons? Why is a dedicated sport climber asking avalanche questions? [ 11-20-2002, 04:35 PM: Message edited by: Dr Flash Amazing ]

COOOOOOOBRRRRAAAAAAA!!!

And, really, W's large-scale stupidity far outweighs some lens caps or an inverted book (real or otherwise). All the same, what a dumbass!

Choice pick, holmes.

Gene Siskel gave it "several thumbs up!" and went on to say "I was out of my seat cheering, on the floor vomiting, and back in my seat ready to get up and cheer again several times! A postomatic tour de France!" [ 11-20-2002, 03:48 PM: Message edited by: Dr Flash Amazing ]

Maybe I'm just a trad pussy. Guess it looks like I'm just cut out for sport climbing and bouldering. Hey DFA, wanna go climbin'? Excellent, Winter! Trad climbing is slow, complicated, and boring. Let the Doctor know when you've traded in your trad gear for some sport acoutrements, and DFA will see you at the base of Churning for some hang-doggery and beta hollering.

Huh? Jizz Day, you say? A celebration is in order!

"Its amusing to see the responce from the limp dicks out there. If anyone grinds into their agenda they squeal like little piggies." Such withering criticisms you levy against the bleeding hearts! Thank goodness none of your beloved right-wing brethren are squealing reactionaries! How embarrassing it would be if you, too, lost your shit every time some hack poked a rhetorical stick in the all-seeing eye of your great politickal deity!

SoC/Trask, you're as amusing as a box of rocks, and almost as smart. Go back to the main ward, it's time for your meds!

Smith does have some seriously hard sport stuff, but its not quintessential NW, which historically speaking must involve more fear and suffering. OK ... Vicious Fish. In July, midday, in an 8000 meter suit, wool mittens, a swim cap, snowshoes, and only pitons for pro, belayed by the first available tourist from the parking lot. That should up the fear and suffering quotient to acceptable levels, yes?

Just Do It

Dr. Flash Amazing will second the recommendations for rest, and add to that ice after your workout. The stuff is great for keeping aggravating inflammation in check. OTC anti-inflammatories like Vitamin I (that's ibuprofen, e.g. Advil) or naproxen sodium (e.g. Aleve) also help. And work those antagonist muscles. As you noted, reverse curls were helpful; perhaps some presses or other pushing-type exercises would be additionally useful, especially if it's a muscle imbalance thing. Oh, and drink lots of water to keep that blood flowing and keep those tendons nice and supple.

Really, now? And who's calling who "cowboy," hoss?
