It was my first ride through the valley and I was still green as a climber, so I could accept the chills that shot down my spine when I looked up into the cold stone face of El Capitan and imagined what it would be like to be adrift on that sea of granite. ]]> Wed, 30 May 2012 02:08:00 -0400 13100 2012-05-30 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_dsc-7223-1338343688.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_dsc-7303-1338343690.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_dsc-7193-1338343692.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12689-kids-with-guns-mason-earle http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12689-kids-with-guns-mason-earle I've just returned to the good ol' USA from a wild and overhanging bigwall adventure in the Venezuelan jungle. It was a crazy trip full of machetes, hunger, and whippers. As I write this, I am about 3 Thin Mints away from killing a box of girl scout cookies. God Bless America. ]]> Fri, 02 Mar 2012 21:14:00 -0500 12689 2012-03-02 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_p1060478-1330722892.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_p1060536-1330722893.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_l1030126-1330722894.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_p1060710-1330722895.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_l1030169-1330722896.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_p1060881-1330722898.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_kidswithguns-1330722899.jpg
