No, nobody ever has until you came along. Obviously your joint pains are your own fault; stop trying to blame the water you drink.

These are the Crystal Geyser Crags, named after the nondescript blue metal
building that houses their bottling operation. The middle of the 4 "towers"
has the longest routes. There is a 9 pitch 5.7 with a very exposed crux
section comprised of crimping large feldspar knobs about 2 feet above a
bolt. Very serious lead. The guy who runs the shipping dock is known for
hiking up there on his lunch hour and solo-drilling new lines. Some of
these will be 10-34 pitches long (depending on rope length) and quite
exciting. The crags have an access lean put on them by Crystal Geyser Corp
so that only employees of Crystal Geyser can climb up there, unless you
have the necessary "poop-free" permit....only available by inspection at
the plant. Seems some roughneck redtag jumpers from Bakersfield were
bagging all the good lines and taking huge dumps in the rivulet that leads
directly to the bottling facility. Very unpleasant. Maybe this situation
will change in the future, but for now just suck it up, clean your pipes and
go on in for the inspection. Nurse Ralph is very gentle.
hope this helps,
Russ

Yes. I have joint pain and I have consumed crystal geyser. I am very interested in what you have to say.
You can reach me through my email on this site, or just leave a message here. I am interested in hearing the rest of your story.
Kindest Regards,

Pain in your joint can be bad.

Anyone over the age of 45 that doesn't experience joint pain is lying out their ass!!! Thanks Russ for the scoop on those fine looking faces West of Olancha. I've been eyeballing 'em for years!!
