I want that tape! You should sell it here. I will call Pagan, but if you’ve got a better source, could you post it? Thanks for the advice! I’m gonna try the shoes, too.

Of all your tips, I of course find the ones regarding dogs tantamount to all others! Perhaps even superseding taping in precedence…?! Yay for dogs!

Though I would be remiss to not challenge your choice of breed…I of course think snow dog mutts are the best! Cuz they don’t steal one’s down jacket!!! They can even serve as one! (If you see them at all during the day that is… )

And if it is tooo cold to climb, one can always rest assured that a workout will still be had scouring the cliffs and canyons for the inevitably missing wolfie!!!

As someone who is new to climbing, I find your blog inspirational as well as informative.

The previous suggestions of flaxseed oil and almond milk are good. (I developed an allergy to soy, and already had one with dairy products). I also take probiotics to boost the immune system, and found the Mckenzie Method of therapy when I slipped a disk and injured my back and knee [it always could be worse ]. The exercises are very similar to yoga, and after 6 months of therapy I’m about 97% pain free. They teach you certain exercises to do every day for pain management, and it works. And because I’m an older climber who has the beginnings osteo-arthritis I take chondroitin and glucosamine, MSM, and calcium as well, and they do seem to help. Thanks for all the excellent tips!

Love your blog!

Hi Steph,

I love your blog! I try to check it before climbing for inspiration and it always helps! As a wellness practitioner, I have just a couple of comments for you. I agree that aspirin is likely the better choice as an NSAID but natural is better. I highly recommend megadoses of Vitamin C (3-4000mg/d) for preventing the delayed onset muscle soreness often associated with intense physical activity. This should be taken before activity as a preventative measure. Also, omega 3 fatty acids are excellent natural anti-inflammatories. The very best form is in a high quality fish oil (no mercury, etc.) but for vegans flax oil is good too, it is just not as readily used by the body. Also, I would recommend almond milk over soy milk any day. You may do your own research..google “soy milk and carcinogens” and see what you find out!

Thanks again! Keep on rockin!

Sarah

“Low-dose aspirin (325 milligrams or less daily) has been shown to lower the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular blood clots. It can, however, cause gastrointestinal ulceration and major bleeding, thereby limiting its overall usefulness even at the lowest effective amount.”

Please do ot take too many of those. It can be bad for your Stomach.
