After climbing (I lead about 9/10a), or more usually working out with weights, I have a pain on the inside of my left elbow (I'm right handed). This becomes worse if I continue to use the joint and icing seems to improve it. Normally everything is back to normal after a few days or a week of little or no use. From what I've read I think I probably have golf/tennis elbow. My main concern is that this will get worse over time and prevent me climbing. Are there any long term management or recovery strategies for this? Ade

The second Jim Nelson guide to the Cascades has a bunch of routes in it of varying degrees of of difficulty: Selected Climbs in the Cascades, Peter Potterfield & Jim Nelson, The Mountaineers, 1993, ISBN 0-89886-386-6. Selected Climbs in the Cascades, Volume 2, Peter Potterfield & Jim Nelson, The Mountaineers, 2000, ISBN 0-89886-561-1. Quite a lot of the routes in Beckey have also had winter ascents but I'm not sure any of them are done frequently due to the snow conditions in the Cascades. Access seems to be the biggest problem, Cuttthroat is only accessible when they open the pass for example.
