Actually I hurt it at work...alot of repeatitive wrist motion, pulling, lifting, twisting. (I do custom picture framing). I can't afford to see anyone is the problem. It is improving, but I'm still working which slows the progress.

Any advice for my wrist...I wrote about it above. I can't afford to go see a doc.

Hey, I hurt my wrist (the inside...thumb side) at work about 1 1/2 months ago. It used to hurt badly and I would get pins and needles in my hand (swolen tendon pushing on nerves). Now it hurts if any pressure is applied. I don't have insurance so I've read alot and self medicated. I haven't climbed since I wear a wrist brace at work I ice 3x a day and have now done alternating hot and cold I lift light weights, but I don't push it (I have a big trip to city of rocks planned) I take B6, Turmeric and Bromelain (helps joints), and Glucosamine. Good luck! I hope some of this is helpful. Oh, I read taking Ibrofin actually slows the healing process, so I rub Arnica gel on it 3x a day

My group could possibly be out numbered by dogs.....

NASTY!

We'll be there the 26-4th...well I guess the 26th will be spent driving. And we have the two camp sites with the Wart in-between, I think they're like 12 or 13?? Stop on by and have a beer with us ya'll!

I'll find out, a friend of mine reserved a couple of spots. How long are you guys out there for?

I'll be there also! I'm coming down that weekend and staying for a week+....

Koala rock was the first place I climbed at Smith...it feels like a completly diiferent place when you're out there! No crowds!

Ummm, I love dirty climbing men, it's why I first fell in love with my boyfriend. Then I found I like to climb more then him...and he saw me become tougher then him....

Bill its awesome that you do this for local climbers! I have a messed up tendon in my wrist right now, but after a month+ I'd love to come down and check it out!

Ummm the group climb part.

Sounds awesome!

What is PDX midweek climb night? I'm pretty new to climbing (one year+ and REALLY new to trad). But I love it and learned up at Rocky Butte, which I also love. Thanks for the tips guys!

Hmmm, I hurt my wrist awhile back and usually it seems fine (pulling on plastic) until yesterday when I went outside and on a side pull I felt my wrist lose all strenghth. Any tips for wrist recovery???

yes, it is the climb with the bouldery start. I thought last year it had anchors....I definately saw where they were chopped.

Weekday rider here!

Luckily I had a bunch of cordalette and some webbing my partner sent up to me. Silver bullet area looked fine. Hmm, I new to climbing at rocky, what a horrible tradition!!!

Not closing till the end of the month now.

Not on Monday! Why!!!???

So I know Rocky Butte is a bit on the ghetto side, but when its nice outside and you only have a few hours its a great place to throw out your rope. So I was warming up on Blueberry Jam (easy 5.9 trad route) and once I got up to the anchors I saw that they had been hack sawed off. I glanced over at the routes next door and their anchors had been cut as well. I only saw about three sets of anchors cut (it must have been recent?)

Suddenly since they recieved this big dump of snow they might extend the season....

All this has left me contemplating buying a split board so I'll have more access to backcountry. I hang around with alot of tele skiers and would LOVE to try it but I can't aford it. Yesterday was awesome at the mountain!

Ahhh, that hurts! ex-skier gone boarder!

Thanks ya'll!
