you need to rethink your life if this is a question that you feel needs attention.

I'd see the chiro 1st because they can diagnose you, something massage practitioners cannot do. As for Tx if it isn't something "bad", it takes a while before the inflammation is going to subside, and yeah low back pain episodes can feel like you're literally going to die and take a week or two to calm down. If you don't get Tx it may go away completely, but it is guaranteed to come back. You can call me if you want some advice (pm me for my #)

It's so good too. The prions make it spicy

Cool!

Fun little climb, ain't it!

aw dang it!

NICE! I gots to get me there and the cathedrals and climb some clean granite! Hell of an effort in there, looks super fun

I still hate U

Looks like a stoopid time, glad I wasn't invited. I hate you I hate you

Yup! Got wined and dined, almost like hanging out what a pharm rep. Still hashing out the contract. I have to say that the guy (Dr. Suver) is REALLY good, so I'll learn a bunch from him. I'll post the address and phone number after I sign.

They make a fucking awesome rare hamburger

I got a list of like 100 names on my insurance. Anyone know of a good one in Seattle near Queen Ann/Freemont/Downtown? For those that MUST know, I need my nose cauterized (too much blow).

hell yeah!

I'll probably get hired at a practice tonight after dinner with the doc.

Are those bike shorts! Dude. Not cool.

Agreed. Good case for cell phones.

Aw man, that's just terrible! Not too surprising, but terrible nonetheless.

John, you're overworking your biceps and creating inflammation. Take a break you big lug. And all that other stuff: ice, massage, stretch. I doubt trigger points are the culprit. Watch out man cuz it's pretty easy to rupture that tendon at your elbow, or impinge it in your shoulder.

I can no longer afford to work at the clinic I was originally in so if you call, you won't be making an appointment with me. When I get a new (paying) position, I'll let ya know.

and I'm anything but a hardman these days

Darin, it's almost impossible to critque something without sounding like an asshole on the internet. I just gave my opinion on Salish, I'm not saying it was easy - I found the cruxes quite difficult. And the last pitch is a bolted crack....sorry, it just is.

Yeah, the Roan Wall is a great slab climb, I'll bump my opinion up to 4/5! Salish...not so much. Still, I didn't do anything but show up and climb it so I really can't complain. Still, a better line awaits, and some bolts NEED to be chopped on the current route.

Teleross and I climbed both routes on Sunday. Thanks to the FA party for the hard work. I would not call the 1st two pitches part of the route. The 1st is a contrived start, and the 2nd is certainly not 5.4x, more like 4th class with cracks all over. The Roan wall is VERY good rock and the line chosen up the wall is pretty good. It only takes a couple hours up it, and the climbing gets kinda old by the last pitch (p.8) if you're not waaaaay into slab climbing. But the rock is awesome and the bolts are solid. Definately no run-outs. 3/5 stars. Salish peak is, as Darin said, amazing granite. The line chosen up it, however, is not. There are a couple good pitches, but on the whole it's a VERY forced line and way way way way overbolted. I clipped MANY bolts that were either right next to a crack, or a crack very nearby. The line chosen does not follow the natural crack systems, but rather splits off randomly. I had a good time, Ross was a lot more vocal about the contrivence of the line and the over-bolted nature. That said, I didn't put it up and was happy to get out climbing on a peak I probably would never have thought to climb on. It's a pretty area on great rock. 2/5 stars. Flame away, just my $0.02
