Check this out: BD Spindrift gloves on sale! Note the regular price versus the "sale" price.

Alex--after you buy your pons empty out a milk jug and cut some plastic to fit the inside of the points then attach the plastic to the crampons using cord, wire or garbage bag ties. Works pretty well as anti-bot plates.

Got an appointment with an orthopedist specializing in shoulder injuries and a refill of vicodins. Livin' the high life. Thanks for all the advice everyone.

This from the guy who I continually confuse with Muffy? Must be the chest huh

Go change your tampon. Jesus. Ironic thread title eh?

Layton was necros boy-toy? That explains that forelorn look at the campfire as he sucked down the tequila from the platypus bladder. It would seem that a nice selection of ball-gags, auto-erotic strangulation nooses and restraints would be a prerequisite for climbing with necro. But I'm just guessing.

I agree with the others wrt Sabretoorh crampons. I've had mine since '98 and they not only hold up well over time but they fit every boot I've used tried them on--never popped off. They climb well in mixed and semi-vertical ice as well. I've climbed WI4 in them. Its usually my technique that causes me to suffer rather than crampons. Doesn't Will Gadd climb in Sabres?

Trask: you lying pile of Erik-sauce. We swap insults all the time. The difference between j_b and I is that I don't friggin' whine about someone being a bully. Fer crissakes its an internet message board! j_b I have to admit that I may share some of your political views but I gotta admit that the way you rant on and on about trask being a bully is kinda weak. Why not just show some self-restraint, ignore him and exhibit some dignity for yourself if you don't like his insults? Whining just stokes the fire. If you poke a bear with a stick you're gonna get bit. I'm beginning to think you and marylou are one and the same. You both have this enormous compulsion to toss out controversial posts then whine effusively when someone insults you. My $.02 (when adjusted for inflation=zilch).

I got the beer.

Did Packwood ever get sued for it either? Nope.

Complete and utter bullshit. Risk of climbing=falling and becoming injured and dying. Risk of continued close proximity to bears=mauled and/or killed. Difference in risk assessment? There is none. Its common sense. This guy knew exactly what he was doing just as much as your example of Heresy. They both accepted the risks. My condolences to his family. I'm with ehmmic on this. I'm also sorry the bears were destroyed as a result of this.

Gracias

Would you rather it go to the goats? Feeling left out?

Afraid it will fight with yours?

Hey thrash--any reason why I should use therabands rather than just bungy cords? If I did that with my dog he'd rip my friggin arm off. He's small (red heeler) but packs a big punch. I really want to avoid surgery at all costs. I think I'll give the bands and the weights a chance and see what happens from there. Thanks for all the beta.

Torqued my shoulder something awful when I took a digger on the approach to Torment a few weeks ago. Felt like I dislocated the bastard. Went to the doc and he did an x-ray, prescribed Bextra and Vicodin (party on, Wayne!). X-ray report showed "bony abnormalities consistent with prior dislocation." Funny, I don't remember dislocating my shoulder--ever. I've had previous problems with this shoulder--throwing motion (as in tossing a ball for my dog) hurt like a bitch. PT helped and pain eventually went away. It was surmised at the time that I had bursitis. I took the Bextra for about two weeks and stopped the Vics as they were making me depressed. Shoulder still hurts--same pain as before (throwing motion) and shoulder feels weak. Mantling hurts as does a chicken-wing motion. What I want to know is this: is there some definitive exercise regimen I can do to rehabilitate this shoulder and prevent this type of pain and injury from occuring again? Any advice is much appreciated. I sit on my ass all day in an office, bike and run but do little for upper-body conditioning. Would weights and a bench help? Gracias

Be nice to erik or you'll suffer that heinous ether hangover again. At least your roids will be back in place though.

Hey bone--thanks for the beta!

Musta changed then. When I went in '87 it was a blast. I bought one beer and the locals bought all I could drink after that. I was sitting with a large group of germans--good thing too cause there was no way I was standing. Spent the night sleeping in the passenger seat of a ford festiva.

There was a guy in Sweet Home who single-handled lowered the black bear population in Orygun tremendously catering to the asian trade in gallbladders. Every time he was caught was just a slap on the wrist.

Thats easy! You have enough rope left.

Well, bears period and a ban on guns which is bullshit. Yeah--bear maulings happen all the time in Yos. Whats with all the paranoia? An aquaintance just forwarded to me an account of a bear mauling in Glacier that was thwarted with pepper mace.

Its a DVD drive dude--not a pipe.
