I've got one you can borrow.

Thanks for the helpful info everyone. It was definitly wheezing I was experiencing. I felt alright yesterday and then last night when I laid down to go to sleep the wheezing came back and my lungs felt like crap. This morning they still feel a little funky but not as bad as before. I can't really afford to go see a doctor right now, so I'm hoping that it fixes itself (yeah right). As far as the being 1360th in the world or whatever, that's highly doubtful seeing that at least two people I workout with have done it faster. I was just psyched because it was my second time ever rowing 2000 and I thought it was pretty good.

Thank you for your helpful comment.

So last night I rowed 2000m on a machine (7:28, chestbeat!) which was pretty difficult and as soon as I stopped I felt like shit. I didn't puke or anything, but I didn't even start the crossfit workout we were doing afterwards. So I went home and on the way home my lungs felt really bad and had a rattly sound to them and I was coughing a lot. It kind of freaked me out so I went to my paramedic next door neighbor and he listened to my chest and told me it sounded like exercise induced asthma. I've never had a problem like this before. Does anyone have any experience with this? It's kind of got me freaked, I don't want asthma, obviously...

So I've heard some talk about these supposed hammers you can put onto fusions that are supposed to make them climb ice better. Has anyone used a tool with these hammers? do they make a difference? I really like the fusions for their drytooling performance, but they totally suck on ice. Anyone?

Haha, this is the gayest thread I've ever read.

There's a really nice, really clean, HARD looking line to climbers right (I'm assuming) of this line, we thought it might be this route, but it looks quite a bit harder. It's got at least three sets of anchors visible from the ground. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

So is Gary really going to allow crampons on the carpet or is it going to be more of a rock shoe/ice tool deal? I vote crampons.

Oh yeah, are people going to have to pay for a daypass to get into the PRG, or is it totally free?

I better win.

It's alright, but best to avoid it when it's busy if you're interested in doing any continous climbing or 4x4 type stuff (i.e. training). Way too many people and little kids running around below you. Gyms seriously suck unless you're just there to take your shirt off and pose down with your super sweet beanie. Portland needs one of these: (Twight Fan Boy)

So I want to workout at home on a hangboard but don't have an indoor gym with which to warm up on. Anyone have any good forearm and tendon warmup ideas?

I couldn't agree more. Good post, by the way.

Okay, how about now? Anyone else looking for a roomate?

Howdy Mike, I think bolting is pretty sweet and if I were in Portland I'd let you borrow my hand drill in a second. After all, you are very sexy. And I'm drunk.

Alright, I really need to get out of my house. Although I love my roomates, the incessant late night partying and slinging of illicit substances is getting out of hand. So, I'm looking for two or three other people who are perhaps looking for a new place to live. My lease ends at the end of September. If you, or any other quiet, semi-responsible people you know are looking for a place to live in the approximate time frame of the beginning of October, send me a PM and maybe we can get something together.

I wish I was back here... Colfax Peak 6/23

Wow, that's pretty freaking crazy...

What's up Chris!?! You should come join me up here. The boat's currently in Grey's harbor, they took a major pummeling getting there last night, almost lost the boat. Apparently there's 30 knot winds coming straight from the north so they might be stuck there awhile. So I imagine they'll be another week or so. But Pete's coming up on Friday or Saturday, you should too!

These are all excellent points, and I'm now feeling a little better. I do feel guilty about being here and not climbing anything, maybe that's compounding my self-loathing at the moment. Meth just might do the trick. I'll be here all week jmace, so if you get an afternoon that would be badass. Also, I think finding a hot chick to climb with would make me more motivated.

So I'm in Squamish for the next two weeks. Rolled in yesterday, got a campsite, drank some beer, hung out with some folks. I'm solo until Friday. Went bouldering with some salt lake dudes who were cool. Now I just don't have much of a psych to do anything. I'm staring at the chief and I guess it would be cool to climb something, but I don't have anyone to climb with and ropesoloing is a lot of work. So I don't know what the point of this post is, maybe I'm looking for some advice on how to get my psych going or something.

I'll be in Squamish starting tomorrow until the 10th or so of July, look for the gold audi wagon with oregon plates. I'm alone for a while, so climbing with someone would be sweet.

Looking for a partner for something longish and hardish in the alpine realm. No idea what I mean by this, but if anyone has anything in mind and is looking for a partner let me know. I'd like to leave on Monday or so, but I'm open. I'm in Bellingham right now. PM me, yo.

HOLLA! That would be rad...
