  1. (tape + opioids + quick clot + suture material) - suck it up + cell phone/spot = all you can do

     

    to be mathematically accurate, you would have to ADD the "suck it up". your equation implies that "sucking it up" actually takes away from "all you can do" :)

     

    nice photos from stairway, BTW.

     

    Someone's been doing their clickbait facebook "math" problems!

  2. Had to take 2 years off so I'm totally out of the loop...

    Finally got my foot surgery and a job that I can afford to stop climbing in hand me down Nepal Tops

     

    Any recs for a solid ice boot for various temps in Can Rock, CO, WY, and UT?

     

    also....

    It's been forever since I've replaced my BD screws. Sounds like the petzl alpine screws are the shit. any thoughts on new screws?

     

    Thanks,

    Mike

  3. I think your average Doctor, after hearing about a 12 mile approach w/backpack then leaving the trail and climbing thousands of feet with an elite partner 15 years my junior, would simply say......stop doing that.

     

     

    good point

  4. the science of muscle cramps is constantly evolving - way faster than any bullshit products on the market. The current theory is has nothing to do with electrolytes or pickle juice and more brain/neuro

     

    -are you overheating?

    -are they always in the same places?

    -are you doing repetitive eccentric or isotonic motions you don't normally do (lowering, holding, or using a muscle to break)?

     

    but that sounds really weird. see a neurologist

  5. While TFTNA is an incredible resource, I wouldn't mess around with it unless you have the time, motivation and resources to actually dedicate yourself to an entire training cycle. TFTNA is geared pretty much exclusively towards alpinism, not mountaineering. There's no need to follow a strict regimen if you're only going to be slogging 5000 feet. Run stairs, climb stairs, run hills, drag tires, etc. You don't need weighted ice tool hangs to prepare yourself for a hike. Guys used to train for the Himalayas by running and hiking. Some didn't even train at all. To each their own.
