Mountie bashing is fun for the *whole* family.

These guys need a visual to get the proper stoke on, as it's still 60 degrees and raining around here! Imagine that!

Save comments like that for Spray. They are inappropriate here, particularly on a forum about helping other climbers.
Presenting pseudo-science as fact is also inappropriate. In your second post you started backpedaling on your assertions. Good for you.
A previous poster authoritatively discounted that it might be the pressurized breathing, without offering any supporting evidence.I believe the previous poster knows a bit about pulmonary medicine.

Why can't are slogan be "Washington (It damn well ain't Bush.)"

As to why this exercise-induced asthma got better, I doubt it's because of the pressure breathing. Probably something else related to the swimming or something else that changed over time. You definitely do hear of cases of asthma (exercise-related or not) that simply goes away over time. In cases where allergy plays a big role as a trigger, it's because the exposure to the allergen was eliminated. In other cases it's not clear why it finally goes away but it does.
Ya, tvashtarkatena has his head up his ass.
I haven't figured out what triggers mine. I've gotten it while long distance cycling in the summer heat of the south near sea level and winter climbing on Rainier. After that winter climb, I kept hacking for a month or so afterwards. Went to the doc and got an inhaler. Used it a few times on subsequent trips, and then quit. Haven't had an episode in the four years since.

Did you try clicking on the link above, Joe?
Free-climbing pioneer Todd Skinner was killed yesterday, October 23, while descending fixed ropes on the Leaning Tower in Yosemite. Details of the accident are incomplete, but it appears that he and his partner Jim Hewitt were working on a free route on the 1,200-foot monolith. Information on the accident will follow as we receive it, but Skinner and his partner, Jim Hewitt, were rappelling the route Jesus Built My Hot Rod, and were several hundred feet above the base when the accident occurred. Apparently, Skinner went first, and suddenly fell; his rappel device and locking carabiner remained on the rope. -

Thank you for your helpful comment.
No problem. Ask a simple question and get a simple answer.

Sounds like bone is trying to make a little money reselling on Ebay. He sold the exact same ledge a few years ago for a lot more money.

The chicks dig it.

Yup.

Naked guys in the hot tub and clothed chicks outside?
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I refer you to the knottygirl thread...you have apparently never contemplated the right navel CBS. but we already knew that.The correct answer is:

But whatever you do, don't Google "Dru fist crack"

If W eliminated the research budget (welfare to academia), we would be able to make significant progress on the War Against Poverty.
Unfortunately, college professors vote more often than welfare mothers.

Hey!
What happened to the mindless Mountie bashing?
-
I'm surprised you didn't pop a cap into that REI employee.

I thought the NYT just made up their interviews.

They aren't very good for in-bounds either.
Why not?

Hey Dwayner!
Who has the higher body count on Rainier? The amateur Mountaineers, or the "professionals" at RMI lead by Lou Whittaker?
You would think Lou could bring em back alive.
