    [TR] sews - sw rib - rope solo 8/12/2011

    in Rock Climbing Forum

    Nice job! I've recently gotten into doing longer multipitch roped solos with my SP and it can be quite fun. But yes you always need like twice as much water as you think ;)

     

    For PCG, in my system I started out TRing the pitch on a mini traxion to second it, but I found it to be much easier and quicker to carry jumars and light weight aiders and just second every pitch on jumars. When soloing definatly stretch every pitch as long as possible, it sucks to have to do any more pitches than needed. And keep in mind the belays don't always have to be in the most comfortable spot unless your going to hang out and snack or something. Then when rapping and cleaning the pitch with the grigri just leave the rope clipped into the peices that will make it easier to jumar. Its kinda a bummer to have to carry a SP, grigri and jumars, but I think its speeds up the process a ton. Good luck!

    Yeah I was bit in 2008 in Yosemite. So who knows? I even took 2 weeks of Doxycycline, but now I don't remember if I started right away, how consistant I was, if I finished the whole RX, etc... My memory has gone a little bit hazy now I think so its hard to remember certain things. Going to try and climb tomorrow, should be nice :)

    I wish I had something to share about Lyme, but a few things:

     

    I wish you luck on a positive outcome.

     

    Really hope you can share your journey and experiences here Tyler, it will add to the knowledge base. Ticks are one of our hobbies more common issues, and even if Lyme is not that common now, tomorrow we might all be hit and could use what you learn to help us or a buddy out when he's bit by a radioactive spider.

     

    I suppose that it's all a matter of time till we all check out, the journey is what is important. Regards to all and once again, get well soon.

     

    Yeah Bill, I will say this. Take every tick bite very seriously. I still don't know when it was that I became infected, but I'd assume it was most likely on the West coast. I'd always heard, and will still continue to hear that there isn't Lyme on the West coast. Thats bullshit, it is everywhere. If I didn't figure this out sooner, who knows what could have happend, and at this point I still don't know what is going to happen. But I at least have some answers. I'm learning more and more every day how serious it really is. Watch "Under Our Skin" as was said before, that might make you think a little more the next time your bitten by a tick. I couldn't watch more than 25 minnutes of it, as I didn't really need to be reminded how I feel any more. But for those interested try and educate your self a little bit more, I wish I had. Like Bill said, I would not be surprised if this became a serious problem in the near future. On that note, fuck the CDC. Hope everyone is getting out and crushing it, because I would be if I could :)

    Just so everyone knows, I'm way beyond the point of early stage treatment. I'm looking for people with experince in late stage Lyme treatment and diagnosis. I'm on a somehwat good track towards some sort of treatment at this point. But am still interested in exploring all options, and taking advice on any reccomended Doctors in the NW.

     

    Thanks everyone.
