dbb Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 Women of basecamp beware! I bet placebo was easy to figure out. "It was good to be able to breathe freely again and no longer feel that oppressive feeling on my chest." Quote
Bug Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 This will give those high altitude bivys a whole new ambiance.... Keep your ice ax close boys. Quote
catbirdseat Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 The therapeutic window for Viagra is only four hours, whereas it is 36 hours for Cialis. Obviously, Cialis would be the preferred drug for climbers. Quote
JoshK Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 Sorting gear just got a whole lot easier. BWAHAHAHAH "Sildenafil is used because there is a biochemical similarity between the penis and the lungs. " Quote
catbirdseat Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 Cialis would make establishing basecamp a snap. You'd pitch a tent on arrival. Quote
JoshK Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 Viagra would make it a lot easier to stack the rope at a hanging belay Quote

Bug Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 I am flushed with excitement at the prospect of GETTING SOME useful medication for a LACK OF PERFORMANCE by some part of my body while climbing at altitude. If my performance is enhanced for more than four hours, should I call my doctor? Quote
catbirdseat Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 The reason for the difference in side effects between Cialis and Viagra was explained to me as follows. Both drugs work by virtue of being PDE5 inhibitors (PDE stands for phosphodiesterase). Cialis is a pure PDE5 inhibitor, whereas, Viagra also inhibits PDE6 to a certain extent. PDE6 is found in the Yellow/Blue cones in the retina of your eyes. PDE6 inhibition interferes with perception of yellow colors and leads to the "blue haze" effect that some people report when taking Viagra. Quote

JoshK Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 Does this mean that climbers will now be able to whack off above 25k feet, which was previously difficult if not impossible?? Quote
