I get hand cramps after long days of jamming....but not usually if I eat hummus or baba ghanoush before.

that was so good it just needed a repeat.RRO wrote:niceSCIN wrote:So, I decided I wanted to play retro and be a man again and do some "Crack Climbing". I loaded up all my gadgets and put on my 7 habits of successful people seminar podcasts and turned my overpriced freedom hating truck towards the meca called the Red. I did not have a partner so I called RRO up and asked him to put up Roadside for me. After I signed my waiver and got belay certified we headed out. The approach went smooth enough with RRO breaking ground and checking for SCIN repellent along the way. We get to the base and RRO dances up the rock without a glint of strain. So here I go jamming this 80 degree slab and as soon as I get 15 feet off the ground I get this weird feeling in my forearms and grease out, maybe I should extend my practice room ?. RRO is such a patient friend and mentor and coaches me thru the first section. I pulled on gear a few times, the weird feelings in my arm was increasing. I asked RRO if he would lower me back down so I could rehydrate and sign a couple autographs, being the super cool guy he is he obliged. After 6 or 7 signings, 3 pictures with families and kissing a baby I was hankered. RRO being the total stud he is cleaned the rest of his gear on the way down and carried my pack out. Does anyone else suck this bad and depend on their partner that much or is it just me?
