Good point. but the healthy ones don't either. Look at ultra marathoners from Kenya. They are in great health and beat us barefoot or running with spare-tire tread tied to their feet every time.

I will get you the references tomorrow if possible.

Don't get me wrong on the PTs. They know their shit too. I think the two professions should merge, be accredited by the AMA and be doctors of manual medicine.

Yeah that guys sounds like a freak. Plent of MD's do just as outragous shit, you just don't badmouth the entire profession-just that person. As for difficulty: it's a small town with several schools of medicine. The OHSU folks seem to think the 1st 4 years aren't as bad as ours. That said, their residency sounds like a bitch. There are stupid people who sneak through in any school. But yeah, I don't know anyone (although there are a few) who's done both.

Yes....and no. It's easy to get into, but extremely hard once you get in. Prepare to have no life for 4 years of hard-core studying. It's as hard, if not harder than medical school. The reason I chose it was because you have a little bit more scope of practice than a PT (thus the Dr. part...different than a doctorate of PT). You can either put the education to good use and do all the things you've learned from both degrees to a vast array of exercise related injuries in any part of the body in addition to diseases, or you can be a high volume back cracker....you're call. The cons are you get shit on a lot, and the pay isn't as good as being an M.D., but the hours and lifestyle are WAY more chill than being an MD, the pay is much better than a PT, and as I last checked, there were 50 open positions in Seattle. Check out Western States Chiropractic College's website www.wschiro.edu and check out the curriculum. I am VERY happy I chose chiropractic over physical therapy...still not sure if I'd rather have gone the M.D. route, but when I get my practice boomin' I'm sure I'll be glad I'm not stuck working long hours at a hospital.

That route is really fun, but honestly I liked Eagle Dance better.

You should do Zero gully now, it's a really fun route. Better early season though.

why does that get a green annoying laughing face?

stuart range, castle crags, whatever PM me please.

We did and it was necessary, the rock in the gully is really loose and trippy-overish. I would not rap considering how ez the walk off (+1 rap) was.

Dude, you're good to go

I'll be a chiropractor in less than 2 months. I'm moving to seattle soon.

I got my exercise science degree from Western and it was a very good program..plus the campus and the town can't be beat.

The Prude Climber: This humorless climber generally has a scowl on her face and lurks at ANY opportunity to be offended and turn something into a sexist debate. (Note the complete inability to laugh at herself, or a whimsical breakdown of the female climbing culture). Body type is usually man-ish, and although her mamilarry proturberences may be profound, the stocky nature of the beast is necessary to support her girthy legs and chest.

PT is NOT an easier field to get into. The logo-embossed Polo-shirt wearing quasi-intellectual research and masturbatory holyier than thou art attitudes in the exercise science and PT (and yes chiropractic too) is so goddamn annoying it makes me want to just stick to push-ups, pull-ups, squats, sit-ups and trail runs, each meat potatoes and vegies, get a good nights sleep and call it good.

Ok, too much 'tude on that last post. Awesome pics and good times 'eh?! jk

No shit! Let's set ourselves up for brain trauma and sweat to death in a wool hat at the same time! And who the fuck is this guy? It's like looking at a taller, better looking twin?

Marcus and I were on "Dirty Sanchez" Today. 2 parties were on Ride the lightning ... obeviously not heeding the above advice. Hope it was safe for the lower team. We rolled outta Portland at 8am, dicked around watching the 1st party atop P4, climbed our route, and were off and out before the 1st party topped out, home before 9. So, basically, everyone in a Tri-State area should mob the shit out of this place thanks to Craig's recent TR. Bring your bolt-putter-inners, cuz there's a lot of potential. Dirty Sanchez was a fun 1/8 of a day in the hills! Pretty solid rock all in all.

no, you just bolt the cracks instead

sounds perfect. you can get a yellow hard man pad from MEC if you wanna be in the "club"

Add to kevino's statement, biomechanical issues in the foot are the 3rd most contributing factor 1 being overuse 2 being hip muscle imbalance 4 being pelvic distortion or leg legnth discrepancy 5 congenital abnormality of the location of your patella, acetabulum, tibia/fibula, and tarsals.
