No I sleep on my stomach. I bet you're right on the cello thing. Probably should try n' stregnthen your deltoids w/some enduro side lifts???

The thing is that I have ZERO pain most of the time. When i do it's not much and isn't sharp or localized. Also I've done like 200 pitches since I broke my feet and lots and lots of slogging. This is why I am begining to seriously doubt my Doc. Anyways, I am keeping off of them (except I went bouldering today in the gym...he he) until I find out for sure. Catbirdseat, are you a doc?

In england they don't have spoons and there are some people who have all the spoons and are spoon millionaires.

I've noticed that my forearm is unusually weak sometimes (mostly in morning, but other times too) and I can't make a tight fist. My arms have been falling DEAD asleep at night. My shoulder is also restricted greatly upon ext/lat rotation and abduction. ALL of my muscles are wicked tight so it's hard to pinpoint the culprit. I haven't had any shoulder trauma, but lot's of popping and grinding noises at the joint(s). My guess is I need to stretch and massage, but was wondering if these signs may point to any other pathologies besides just plain old tight muscles???

don't rule out massaging/stretching you scanlenes muscles (esp the anterior which can impinge your brachail plexus of nerves and your axillary a.) Get a new pillow -memory cell or a chiro-pillow and be mindfull of keeping that area "opened up" while you sleep.

at a tiny ledge, "I NEED to crap, turn your back"

Fuck that noise. Time for extreme theraputic measures (super secret). We'll see by next weekend how wrong they were (hopefully). I won't be surprised at all if the ortopod says I'm fine (x-rays are not the end all in diagnosis). Still pissed. Getting some serious cramming done however!

Two girls were dressed as mormons last night. They had it down to the letter! I laughed my ass off. Then they came over and gave me a condom and an ainplane bottle of J.D.

No problem. I couldn't get shit for it on Ebay.

Thanks Billcoe. I'm gonna have to re-read this a few times ! By then, I probably won't care anymore, which would solve the problem in a kind of roundabout way .

Yeah, I hiked the AT a long time ago. I'm sure the PCT is WAY more scenic and adventuresome, and the CDT sounds pretty hard core . Either way, it's way too much hiking for me anymore. Props to your buddy. He needs to learn how to climb, however, so he can fuck up his shoulders and neck to match his probably fucked up knees and lower back. I went as Kevin Bacon last night and did a little footloose action cuz I totally forgot . Whoops. Luckilly there's a little chemical called alchohol that dulls the pain and the senses Muffy, thanks for the dinner offer ! After thanksgiving or before? Boy, I'd like love a nice meal. I'm getting way sick of lucky charms and peanut butter sandwiches Maybe we can play an excrutiatingly boring game of monopoly with the chilins and drink some hot Gluvein?

"i'm moving to portland for the next four years" Necro, you've GOT to have some timeless sayings i've blabbered frantically on our lil' happy time climbs.

"It looked steep on the map"

"let's solo this first section and then rope up" -always a joy

So i get my feet x-rayed today and the doc tells me my 2nd metatarsal hasn't even fused together yet (i.e. it's still broken), so I was told to wear a walking cast on my right foot and don't do anything to flex my feet. No Biking. No hiking. No excessive walking. No stairmaster. No spin cycle. No Hockey. NO FUCKING CLIMBING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been hitting it hard for like 3 months of climbing since the accident. WTF??? Guess I'm just too aggro brah. HATE. ANGER. DESPAIR. My doc's gonna fwd my films to an orthopod for a 2nd opinion, but as for now I am fucked.

"Hey, your first piece just pulled" or "nice....nice..YOU GOT IT!!!," when in fact you don't got it and you're totally sketching and about to fall on shitty gear. Note to outward bound style helping friendly belayers: Shut the F*ck up!

I put a voodo curse on it not to cam properly until returned.

I would never reccomend the variation we did to anyone unless you like ropedrag, dirt, and sketchy pro .

Upon internal speculation, and remotely viewing the areas, I have decided that nothing's in. Stay at home, get drunk and sleep in this weekend. Sorry to get your hopes up.

Ok, so where YW goes left, we went right. What route is that??? I love that 2nd pitch with the wild step out and the flakes over the roof!!! Nice crack above too! Done it twice now!

I prefer Robotussin AM at night, PM in the morning.

Yeah we did the 2nd pitch, no doubts on that. I described the 3rd-6th pitch. The SE buttress route was WAY to the left by this point.

Anyone familiar with Young Warriors on Beacon? Ivan and I climbed the 1st to pitches to the bolt anchor. Then we went up the thin open book and did not go left or right for around 150'. On that pitch an old pin was clipped and went into another very thin open book with not much on the faces to either side. This put us below overhangs at the "belay". Then we went right traversing along steep slabs under overhangs, mantling up, then more right under larger roofs pulling a desperate roof w/no topout holds onto dirt and grass to a shitty stance. Old ring pins all the way. Then another traverse right to the final desperate mantle with no top out holds to a big pine tree with a fairly new (surprise) spectra sling. Then another long 4th/low 5th pitch on the ridge crest to the trail/railing. Any clue?
