I had similar symptoms after running one day, and the MRI showed that it was a herniated disc. I saw a good physical therapist and I am back to "normal."

I think I will go postal if I see that stupid add with the girl on the side of the truck...

I use the Manta which seems to give the best variety of holds. I couple this with a few screw in holds and jibs to play with different foot arrangements while pulling. http://www.stoneageclimbing.com/hang.html

Prefer trad, but sport lines are fun as well.

I am new to the area and hitting Vantage this weekend for the first time. Any suggestions on good routes around 5.7-5.10a?

Why don't you post a picture of what you are talking about, maybe I am getting the wrong idea from your description.

I guess I define a the ethics for nailing a little differently than you. I believe that routes that go clean or are top ropes (as most of the climbs there are) should not be climbed using pins. There are plenty of boulders that can be used to test pin placements that are not established climbing areas. Ethics that suggest people can nail on established clean climbs sets a very irresponsible precedent.
