So shock is not necessarily blood loss, but circulatory system malfunction due to, well, a shock.

That just explains everything. You mind filling me in on the concept of negative energy next.

I never use a cam that is smarter than I am.

I do have to give Gary props on his epicurian culinary taste. From now on, Gary, you shouldn't post anything unless it has to do with fine cuisine.

Using that logic, if your body is overheated, or well heated, through exertion, eating snow would not only hydrate you it would cool you off.

No not the Shocker!!! So, in reading about the unfortunate accident at Si, the poster noted that the climber was treated for shock, but only had fairly minor cuts and bruises, and a broken arm. I was under the impression that shock is a result of the body not being able to pump enough blood to organs and extremities, as a result of blood loss from trauma, etc. However, it appears that this gentleman cleary had not lost any or much blood. Am I wrong avbout what causes shock and what shock is? Can any medico types help me out?

Good to hear about the relatively favorable outcome!!!

RUMR isn't a 5.10+ climber. More like 5.12+, even though he's fat.

Nice, is the wheelchair included?

You should get this rig and roll to the crag in style, homie:

For driving on back roads and such I'd think you'd want something with decent clearance like a nissan or toyota pickup or a jeep even though a front wheel zippy cart like a TDI would be better on the highways. Shit, you could drive anything up the Teanaway to Longs Pass TH, but going into the Chehalis or the Ghost or trying to get up some road in the early season thru snow and shit you want a truck.

How did you manage to survive the killer bloodsucking mosquito onslaught?

You should ask Polish Bob.

Hope you wear a helmet. Those things are dangerous.

Its OK, I'm still learning how to belay, and drive.

Doesn't look like any swashbuckling going on either. WTF?

Shut up. Its 5.11.

Work is for people who can't spray.

son, put down the bong But its for medicinal purposes. Cataracts, man. Ivan's witch doctor prescribed it for him and everything.

I'll be in town and don't have time for trad can I have some beta on Infinite Bliss?

He'd probably agree.

the brotherhood? that's gay.

Slippery slope, motherfucker, slippery slope.

In general, chop bolts if: 1) the move could be protected with reasonable, available removable pro; or, if 2)the bolts protect a route originally led with removable pro and first ascentionist has not given her consent to bolt the route; or, if 3) the bolter just plain put too many bolts on a pitch, like one every three feet.
