The 2011/2012 competition season has finally come to a close – just in time for the first Tour de Bloc of season 10! The Summer Sweat Fest season wrapped up with the finale at True North Climbing a few weeks ago. I had been looking forward to the comp for weeks after having a ton of fun at last year’s finale event. The setters and organizers also had surprises up their sleeve for the comp format this year, which both excited and intimidated me. I managed to win all the Sweat Fest comps... ]]> Thu, 11 Oct 2012 20:31:00 -0400 13530 2012-10-11 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_259062-10152101086245357-953545596-o-1-1349987480.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13366-some-tripping-kuutti-huhtikorpi http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13366-some-tripping-kuutti-huhtikorpi Hello! It's been a "while" since my last post... Last summer I went to Rocklands and climbed a bunch of amazing stuff there. For examle Blackshadow, Shosholoza, Macho King, Amphiteater, to mention some of the ones I liked most. This summer I had a trip in Europe. First I visited Magic Wood. I felt really strong, but wasn't able to climb any of my projects. I was close to send One summer in Paradise at my last day, but hand slipped on the very last move. I would like to blame the hot... ]]> Fri, 17 Aug 2012 05:12:00 -0400 13366 2012-08-17 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_-mg-6796-1345180372.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_-mg-4848-1345180373.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_-mg-9432-1345180373.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_-mg-2652-1345180373.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12688-2012-bouldering-nationals-greg-padovani http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12688-2012-bouldering-nationals-greg-padovani Overall, from fit to finish, I felt pretty good this weekend. I could tell right when I landed that I was at a significant disadvantage due to the change in altitude - I was winded walking off the plane. I tried my friend’s trick of doing some sprints immediately after landing, but it is hard to tell if it helped. I proceeded to follow a high water and lower protein diet for the day preceding the comp to help my body acclimate to the altitude. ]]> Fri, 02 Mar 2012 20:24:00 -0500 12688 2012-03-02 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_greg-p-1-1330719860.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_greg-p-4-1330719861.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_greg-p-6-1330719861.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_greg-p-15-1330719862.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_greg-p-5-1330719862.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_greg-p-7-1330719863.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_greg-p-16-1330719863.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12679-eric-sethna-at-abs-nationals http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12679-eric-sethna-at-abs-nationals I've just returned home from my trip to Colorado Springs for ABS Nationals! After watching videos of the ABS 12 last year, I was super inspired and was able to fit this competition in this year. This was my first time competing in any ABS competition. I've made it to a couple of the UBC Pro Tour stops but the strength of the field at this national championship was insane! ]]> Tue, 28 Feb 2012 19:55:00 -0500 12679 2012-02-28 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_429374-10150589865572877-557262876-9365204-1812296264-n-1330458913.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_422045-10150589856462877-557262876-9365162-474798099-n-1330458913.jpg
