Several times a year, my girlfriend Vikki and I shell out the $143 ferry fare and make the Journey to Horne Lake. Its an expensive weekend trip, but the climbing is well worth it. The wall is littered with tuffas, pods, and gigantic huecos, making for excellent 3-d climbing. ]]> Tue, 20 Jul 2010 04:16:00 -0400 9969 2010-07-20 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/9969_DSC0079_1279599368.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/9969_DSC0051_1279599368.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/9969_DSC0058_1279599368.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/9969_DSC0073_1279599368.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/9969_DSC0084_1279599368.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/9969_DSC0101_1279599368.JPG http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/9968-newton-review-by-rock-and-ice http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/9968-newton-review-by-rock-and-ice Rock and Ice does a video review of the Five Ten Newton.

My tick-list has too many routes unmarked, and “necessary” rest-days feel too long. I begin to wish I had energizer batteries to keep me fully charged for the next week and half, because only by climbing full strength every minute of every day would I have enough time to send all the lines I’d like to. ]]> Mon, 19 Jul 2010 19:27:00 -0400 9967 2010-07-19 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/9967_IMG8080_1279567642.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/9967_DSC03786_1279567642.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/9967_IMG8107_1279567642.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/9967_DSC03749_1279567642.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/9967_IMG7486_1279567643.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/9967_IMG8073_1279567643.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/9967_DSC03783_1279567643.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/9966-ya-gotta-have-friends http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/9966-ya-gotta-have-friends … am I all alone out here in these "roiling seas of life?!" ]]> Mon, 19 Jul 2010 15:48:00 -0400 9966 2010-07-19 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/9966_BLOG1LaraSendsBBarete_1279554480.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/9966_BLOG1stefkadynos_1279554481.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/9966_CamaradMonkeyWomen_1279554481.jpeg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/9966_BLOG1BBBoyz_1279554481.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/9966_BLOG 1 Les 5.10ChicasBonitas_1279554481.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/9964-back-in-the-game http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/9964-back-in-the-game It's official!
