Please note that I am NOT a computer expert and google sites is not the best web editor! I have yet to find the spell-check button. I will be posting links and information to some things that I have just heard about myself. If something sounds worth a mention and is related to the book, I will try to post about it and do some diggin' for you.

1/17/10  I called lateral epicondylitis "golfer's elbow" mistakenly. Golfer's elbow is synonymous with medial epicondylitis. Lateral epicondylitis is commonly called "TENNIS ELBOW". Sorry for the mixup.

Thanksgiving - I am donating 11 books to the cause "Pay it Forward". The books will be shipped to climbers getting started but don't have the means to buy a bunch of expensive gear. Remember starting out with your friends, leading a 5.8 with a rack of 3 nuts, a few hexes, and a few off-brand cams? I added a bunch of "dirtbag tips" in the book these climbers should love.
