  1. you need to adjust gradually to your orthodics! put em in your street shoes and wear em off and on for a week, then all week. then put em in your ski boots, problem solved. I swap my orthodics out with all my footwear, which sucks when I forget and go on a 3 week ice climbing trip with no insoles in my boots!

     

    good luck.

     

    p.s. also try removing any golfballs from your boots.

  2. Well....

     

    ....it was awesome!

    Sat was beautiful. Perfect. Absolutely perfect. Only a handful of climbers there and only one at the grasslands that night!

    Sun was in the fog and freeezin, esp on Wherever I may Roam (ice and snow..brrr). Still, wasn't cold enough to complain, or worse yet, not climb.

    Props to Skyclimn, who now ranks as one of my favorite climbing partners. I sent him up Moonshine dihedral, and it wasn't until after a BIG WHIPPER, that I learned it was his 1st TRAD LEAD!!!! bigdrink.gifcantfocus.gifhellno3d.gifbigdrink.gifbigdrink.gif

     

    bigdrink.gifthumbs_up.gif for Winter and his secret non-cascadeclimber girlfriend for driving my ass there and back while I ate horsecock HCL.gif in the backseat.

  3. You mean all the mounties died, it grew some cracks, the rock changed composition, it's no longer east facing, dusty and choked with creepers and bugs, it trippled in size, and the air force base installed quieter engines on its jets?

     

    Sweet!

  4. Nightcrawler and Black Dagger is another good one. Also good: Ginger Cracks, Unimpeachable Groping, Power Failure!

     

    Res Arete and Levitation 29 seems somewhat longish, but I guess you could do it? I'd be too pumped to do it thats for sure. Some of those link ups seem pretty random? What was your criteria?

  5. A shoulder surgeon I climbed with this winter told me that side raises and int/ext rotation exercises are bad for your shoulders. I didn't have time to discuss this with him, but I know side raises at least hurt my shoulders.

     

    Anyone want to support or debunk this statement?

  6. I'd like to see the next edition have black and white outlines of the climbs and climbing photos so I can color in them when I'm bored. Also, heavy stock cardboard pages so they don't get ruined when I chew on them during the fall when I'm jonesing for ice.
