That was my first thought as I stepped off the plane last month to get ready for the 2010 SCS Nationals at Stone Summit, the largest climbing gym in the country. I got to Atlanta two weeks early to train at the gym with the US Team coach, Claudiu Videscelu, and a bunch of my friends from all over the US. When everyone first walked into the gym, the first impression was to stand back and look in awe at the sheer size of the walls. The highest wall is over 60 feet... ]]> Tue, 27 Jul 2010 18:52:00 -0400 9991 2010-07-27 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/9991_NationalsQualifier2Roof_1280256768.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/9991_ethniccleansing3edit_1280256774.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/9991_NationalsSemifinalClipsmall_1280256769.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/9991_NationalsSemifinalDyno_1280256771.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/9991_NationalsQualifier2Topout_1280256772.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/9989-greg-minnaar-still-leads-series http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/9989-greg-minnaar-still-leads-series Five Ten rider Greg Minnaar (Santa Cruz Syndicates) continues to lead the UCI World Cup Downhill Series with a 2nd place finish in Champery, Switzerland. ]]> Mon, 26 Jul 2010 22:08:00 -0400 9989 2010-07-26 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/9989_IMG7148_1280182485.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/9989_IMG7468_1280182485.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/9989_IMG7571_1280182486.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/9989_IMG7594_1280182486.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/9989_IMG7632_1280182486.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/9989_IMG7811_1280182486.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/9989_IMG7760_1280182487.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/9987-five-tenr-proud-to-be-an-athlete-driven-company http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/9987-five-tenr-proud-to-be-an-athlete-driven-company Five Ten's own Nancy Prichard Bouchard recently embarked on a 4-day quest to climb Mt.
