Even though its been a full season it all came down to this race. At the top of the series Gee Atherton and Greg Minnaar had 7 points separating the pair of them. For me a good result here would send me right up the series overall. The full seasons work and it boiled down to one race it was like it was world champs. ]]> Tue, 07 Sep 2010 21:34:00 -0400 10158 2010-09-07 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/10158_defaultnoimage_1283960122.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/10157-alex-johnson-sends-us-a-list-qa-few-of-my-favorite-thingsq http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/10157-alex-johnson-sends-us-a-list-qa-few-of-my-favorite-thingsq "There are a few climbs I can think of that are on everybody’s all-time list. They’re classic climbs you always hear about and think, ‘man it would be cool to climb that someday.’ The Iron Man Traverse in Bishop being one, and The Shield in Little Rock City being another. At the top of the list sits Midnight Lightning. This is one of the most famous boulder problems in the world. It was first climbed in 1976 by Ron Kauk, and at the time, pushed the limit as one of he hardest lines around.

Here in Juneau it rains over 220 days a year so when I say short I mean really short. This past summer has been possibly the most productive summer of climbing that Juneau has ever seen. In all there were probably 70 new boulder problems added to the small number of already existing problems. ]]> Fri, 03 Sep 2010 15:19:42 -0400 10130 2010-09-03 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/10130_powder1_1283529411.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/10130_powder2_1283529411.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/10130_specialsandwich3_1283529411.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/10130_specialsandwich4_1283529411.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/10130_specialsandwich2_1283529411.JPG http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/10129-brand-new-shoes-bring-success http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/10129-brand-new-shoes-bring-success Last Monday morning a box covered by squares of many languages was delivered to my door.

My brother and I headed towards the beautiful mountains of Sequoia National Park in search of new climbs and cooler temps. There were no boulders near the campsites but just 3 miles up the trail to Eagle Lake we found ourselves amidst a boulder field. The temps were perfect because the hike up to Eagle Lake placed us at around 10,000 feet. In the surrounding area of Eagle Lake were large granite boulders slightly polished by the snow, which was still lightly... ]]> Thu, 02 Sep 2010 06:03:00 -0400 10108 2010-09-02 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/10108_IMG8984_1283407437.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/10108_IMG9055_1283407437.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/10108_IMG9061_1283407437.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/10108_IMG9066_1283407437.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/10108_IMG9072_1283407437.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/10108_IMG9081_1283407437.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/10108_IMG9091_1283407437.JPG http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/10088-khs-video-from-windham-world-cup http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/10088-khs-video-from-windham-world-cup ]]> Wed, 01 Sep 2010 21:01:00 -0400 10088 2010-09-01 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/10088_Picture10_1283374908.png http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/10088_Picture11_1283374908.png http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/10087-boulder-climbing-video-with-brion-voges-and-jimmy-webb-from-deadpoint http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/10087-boulder-climbing-video-with-brion-voges-and-jimmy-webb-from-deadpoint Check out this video from Deadpoint Magazine where Jimmy Webb and Brion Voges talk about the South's Strongest.  DPMtv. ]]> Wed, 01 Sep 2010 20:33:00 -0400 10087 2010-09-01 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/10087_Picture6_1283373239.png http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/10087_Picture7_1283373239.png http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/10087_Picture8_1283373240.png http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/10087_Picture9_1283373240.png
