Sacrificing months of prime climbing, letting my forearms atrophy, and sacrificing hours of spray time because life is not all about climbing. However, it is all over tomorrow and I will be back to my old self.
If you can hold water down you are set... do the banana and alkaseltzer thing. If not an IV is the only real cure. If you don't have an IV set up waiting for you the next morning try drinking a teaspoon of water every five minutes. Soon you will be able to hold down water again and you will be doing fine (relatively).
A few years back National Geographic did a story on grizzlies and they reported a very small population (6-10) in the North Cascades. Something like that.
That must be one of the worst ways to go.
I'll help you get started. How about Karate Crack? Cool Ranch? Ol' Orange at the gym?
Bastard. Always bringing up the Karate Crack meltdown. Everyone on this site calls it a 8+/9-. How do you think that makes me feel? Maybe it is your *soft belay* technique that gets me in a dark place while leading. You know... the big loop of slack laying on the ground... the distant gaze in your eyes while daydreaming of chasing butterflies when you were a wee child...
I may be wrong, but it seems like squamish grades get a little more on par when you start hitting the 11 mark. I haven't lead any 11's there, but I have followed and top roped a few.
One of my old roommates shit himself twice when he got too drunk. We always joked that that's what your body does when its preparing for death. A couple of close calls.
The way I figured out how to do it is upload the image to the gallery. Go to the gallery and right click on the image. Go to the properties option at the bottom and click. It will display the correct image url.
I love the part where he interviews Nichols in Bowling for Columbine. I bet Nichols catches so much shit from his friends for not pulling the trigger when he had the gun pointed at Moore's head.
