A lot of times, it's not inflammation, but tissue necrosis from improper foot biomechanics. Graston or Gua-Shaw (sp?) technique that Oleg mentioned is good for stripping out the scar tissue. But you have to fix why it occured - not just the symptoms. Are you getting enough support from your shoe? Is it cushioned enough? Is the toe box too narrow (HUGE!), do you over-pronate, under-pronate? Are your feet weak (golf ball exercises and towel rolls)? Are the joints of your feet moving properly. Are your calfs and hamstrings too tight (also HUGE) -stretch and possible posterior night splint. See someone that seems like they stay current on this condition, because the old therapies are being scrutinized and new ideas are taking their place (like what I just wrote about).

My meth lab scavenger hunt was equal to any alpine climb I've been on. Pitch after pitch of, "No man - it's the dirt road that leads to the van...down by the river" Walking through pitch black trails behind the Martini glass holding ascot wearing gay Lord or Vassel (as is the case) while being bitten by horses to find a jimmy crack corn whistlin' retarded hobo ransoming my cell phone for a case of schmit's ice is like a grade five in my book.

Nice Blake! Did you see the Golden Ramp's supposed "best 5.8" pitch in all of Washington?

Great pics! If you can suffer the initial shitty 5 pitches, it's the best freakin' route ever! Easy yet brutal approach -those are some concentrated trees, eh? Awesome pics!!!!

Throw bricks at the apartments behind Arby's on Powell and 42nd

Nice! I've always wanted to do that one

It's in a beautiful area...so it's worth it to go, but don't expect much from the climb. Bring mountain bikes. They are illegal but time saving. Do it wicked early so you don't get caught.

No, there's not. It should be really easy to plan. Check the weather www.weather.gov Buy a guidebook for the Tetons (there is a great little select one) Call the Teton Ranger Station. They are not like rangers in the cascades...they actually climb and go outside. They will be invaluable. September should be really nice. Cold on the N.facing climbs, and it could thunder and pour...but it could also be prettier than a Georgia peach

I never go ass to mouth

What a great idea to do those in one trip. Thanks Dan, (cool tent).

whipping onto pitons is the shit and makes you a better person.

where did you put your penis, you stud!!!?

Gracias! That should be a good tr to come!

anyone heard from him in a while?

Awesome! I haven't climbed in Canada in 2 years now. WTF? Lets see a TR ripe with hyperbole and photos!

sweet route, eh!!!!!

I left my yellow goretex jacket and cellphone at index. I'm headed back right now, so hopefully no one took it. if you did, please send me a pm. Thanks

Check out Amazon.com There's a relatively new book that mainly focuses on body positioning, center of gravity, etc... and has a good dvd that goes over what the book talks about. I have it, and I think it's called "The Self Coached Climber".

Do any of those brands have a flavorless powder? I still can gag on command when I think about the last few brands I've tried.

well hell yeah! Thanks. This site is the center of human knowledge

Yes, but they do not prescribe medication...it kinda goes against their philosophy of healing in this pill crazy quick fix society. Plus it makes a clear distinction between MDs and DCs.

Yes, an osteopath can diagnose. And yes, you have to go through medical training to be a doctor, kevbone. Medical Doctors go to medical school, osteopaths go to osteopathic school, chiropractors go to chiropractic school, eye doctors go to ophthalmic school (i think), dentists go to dental school etc etc etc. And archenemy is correct. You will get a good diagnosis seeing an osteopath, a doctor of physical therapy (i think they can legally diagnose in some states), or a chiropractor. I would see a chiropractor for garden variety muscluoskeletal stuff - even up to mild-moderate neurological damage -just like I'd see the family doc for garden variety colds and prescriptions (like hypertension or high cholesterol). I'd see an osteopath if there was major trauma. I'd see a PT for rehab from major trauma. Just the way I'd go about it. And sirwoofalot comment unfortunately rings true, just like I feel what happens when I used to go to my medical doc for my musculoskeletal complaints.

Instead of trashing them on the internet, why don't you write them a letter? Sometimes even great companies totally fuck up with a particular individual, and I'm sure they will do something if you write to them. Guide services aren't in it to make millions, they only exist because they love what they do. So please don't trash a small business who major customer base would read this. It's fun to trash talk large organizations and companies (REI anyone?), but it's just not appropriate to do so with small shops, gear companies, and guide services in such a small, tight knit community.

My dick literally coughed up a cloud of gatorade powder when I tried to pee.

Kudos to all that suffered the billion degree heat to get some while the emerald city got douched. I felt bad though, I didn't bring a hot climbing girlfriend as all seemed to have -I don't believe Wayne's 15 year old daughter (who is a climbing superstar) counted.
