It sucks when your super secret proj gets posted front page.

Kearney's book is hardly more informative...missing pitches, no time estimates or seasonal beta.

I don't know how hot or not you all are, but I'd give this thread a 9.9 on the "incredibly annoying" or not scale. Thank you for improving my skimming ability.

Lots and lots and lots of squats, followed by a long run at high exertion.

Thanks to the mazamas for the grant and the opportunity to go climbing. the slideshow was the least I could do. I left out the shock value that the mountaineers got last year. That's what you get for a free show. Basically you need to bribe me to give a G rated program.

sweet, let's go.

any of you usuall suspects wanna head for a day or 2 (sat-mon)?

Love may fade, but V-D lasts forever!

Just another heads up that I'm giving a slideshow at the new Mazama's clubhouse on SE 43rd and Stark tomorrow (Wed) at 7pm. Mostly 1st ascents from the last two years, but some filler too. should be fun if you don't have a date that night, or have a significant other who is very understanding (i.e. about to toss your ass).

i know, what a retarded day for a slideshow.

How sad, i thought this was going to be for my V-D slideshow at the Mazamas.

Bring your date for this romantic getaway

the jacket is way better than the old guard used to wear, and they managed. If cutting edge gear is so important, you'd better be sending cutting edge climbs.

Most chiropractors are good SI joint manipulators...depends if you like gentle techniques like Blocking, or drop table..or more impulse oriented straight chiropractic type...just call one that looks good and ask.

Bruk's clinic seems like an excellent place for climbers to rehab or improve their fitness.

moderators please delete this thread if the spray level gets overboard.

a million more words a day than men? whoa! that's a lot of talking.

Thanks. And no I didn't make any comprimses about climbing or anyhthing like that. Actually working on myself instead of playing the victem payed off enourmously. I for once turned a failure into an opportunity. Since I turned 30 I figured I better grow up.

badass yo!

A month ago my girlfriend broke up with me in the middle of a huge depression I was having about me trying to finish school and it going poorly due to lack of patients and the administration not doing anything to help me. I wasn't able to support her because I was too focused on my own problems. So instead of going out and getting drunk, I bought her chocolates and flowers and went over to her house to ask her on a date. She said yes and it was the best birthday present I could ever ask for. Even if it doesn't work out, I'll know it wasn't because I didn't try. And not with her, I really focused on changing the way I looked at my own life. So for my birthday I not only got my girlfriend back, I also was able to have a major paradigm shift about who I am and how I view the world. And this is the best birthday I will ever have. Happy birthday to me! 30 years old!

every time I heard the word Squamous in cell bio or histology classes, i thought of climbing. squamish cells are kinda like little slabs....kinda...ok not really.

sweet job guys!!!! the plumbs are ticking away fast!

Wait 6 months and see me? No really, I'd see someone who attacks problems from a biomechanical standpoint, rather than a rack-em-and-crack-em subluxation based doc. Stay away from the ones with flashy ads, ask how long regular appointments are (no less than 15 min!), ask if everyone gets x-rayed (don't do it), ask if they are going to "scan your spine" with fancy equipment (scam or patient retention tool), see someone who does more than just "adjust". Sometimes good docs offer free 1st exam/tx to get patients...but more bad ones do that. Ask if the doc treats sports injuries specifically, not in a roundabout way by adjusting your neck to free the nerves or whatever. They should take a thorough history, perform a relevant physical including orthopedic tests, and give you a good reason for their treatment. Be aware of the package deals, although it is a good idea and a way to save money, a lot of scumbags use this. Not everyone needs to be treated 12 times. I wish that the folks in my profession giving us a bad name would be forced to change their titles to technician, not doctor. It's not solely their fault, I think if insurance companies would shape up, the crappy docs would do.

that looks like an awesome route!

Me thinks Marcus and John are on the case?
