My remote sensing capabilities say that it's super fat even if nothing else is in and it's only early November and not very cold at moderate elevations without a significant enough snow pack to even ski for shit

I can pitch a tent but I don't think I can show them how

It can take up to a year to heal your shoulder especially if you keep tweaking it climbing. I personally would not get a cortisone shot but go straight to surgery. That is, if the PT wasn't working.

Anyone gonna be there? I will.

I'd travel to canada to get some tim hortons. Go to promountain sports

the top out at dawn was the most beautiful sunrises over the cascades I've ever seen

Many have tried to find the start...tried and failed.

Actually the plaster casts are pretty easy to learn and very cheap for ingredients. What's expensive is the doctor's education, overhead, and lifestyle.

Go to a bonafide podiatrist. Marylou is right, it's gonna cost some $$ to get a "real" pair of orthodics made. But maybe you don't need them - you might need surgery to correct the bunion. Your guess on the footwear being the culprit is probably right. As a chiropractor, I could probably help, but not fix the bunion problem. If $$ is a big issue, go to Super-Jock-and-Jills in Capitol Hill for some advice on the best running shoe for you.

Oh my god, this is just awful. Jim made a special trip to hook me up with some old school gear last summer in Portland to help me out with some pickets adventures. Thanks so much for helping me out Jim, that was really really nice of you.

this is what I get for not checking the board for a few days? And that's a horrible photo of me, not fair.

I'm sorry, but Fish Oils, Flax Seed Oil, and Cod Liver oil all have different properties and benefits.

Kat, cod liver oil does not provide the correct type of fatty-acids, sorry.

Flip flops are good enough for class 3, the Finn climbs ~ 5.8ish for my comfort.

The point is that evidence-based medicine doesn't mean that the evidence clearly states that a treatment (especially supplements and vitamins) worked in all the research. You'd be surprised at how many tests and treatments in ALL fields (from brain surgery to energy healing) have little to no well-done research to back anything up besides clinical evidence. Most doctors rely on clinical evidence above all. Doesn't mean there aren't an equal number of papers saying the opposite. So when I said that fish oil is a super-supplement for those conditions, I was saying this based of clinical evidence of myself and other doctors - and there are probably tons of pieces of literature that do not support that claim. That doesn't mean it isn't effective, it just means that studying the effects of any type of drug or supplement is extremely subjective and research results can vary wildly. The same (in fact all more) can be said about research done on exercise science. If you want grey areas, do a meta analysis on a subject in exercise science. So when people get annoyed or angry when all of a sudden their exercise program or favorite vitamin all of a sudden has a study that shows it's ineffectiveness- you could probably wait a few months for a paper to come out saying it's actually very effective. aka, don't be a dumbass

sickie

Ummm, but earlier you wrote: These are a lot of definitive claims for something you claim as hard to study. It's neat to see a trend in which assholes tend to see things in black and white. Anyone else notice this?

I once dropped a rock off the top of a mountain. It made it all the way to the bottom by itself.

You're a pussy if you don't climb in the Sumallo Cirque this weekend

U of Wy gives out full-ride scholarships to pretty much anyone. I was offered one.

I'm always surpised how little attention this place gets...even with tr's on the board. I mean, don't you people look at the beckey guide and see this cirque and want to climb here? Do you need a tour guide?

note: it's a whole different story once your outside of college unless mommy and daddy are rich

Top 4: Boulder: Hot girls, tons of climbing, fun fun fun. Don't be stupid, move here Next 3 in no particular order: Bozeman Flagstaff Seattle Bellingham: B'ham sucks ass during the majority of the school season for climbing however.

iluka, good point, but basically the same point can be taken for almost all vitamins, supplements, and a ton of medications. It's very hard to study exactly what something does to a human nutritionally. some have convincing argument that it don't matter what you eat, your body will process it and break it down to what you need regardless....you're genes determine the outcome. I've never felt any better or worse on any supplement or multivitamin, but I know hundreds who have and studies to back that up. Plenty of studies to disprove it too. So fuck it, just take the dang fish oil - eskimos seem healthy enough
