The long dark nights, the rain and the work commitments have once again meant that rock activity has been limited. Same old story huh?! Well, with a weather window coinciding with a few days off there was nothing for it but to escape the country all together. I have never been the best boulderer and this year I am determined to turn that around. I have been seeing some progression in the training and was keen to apply it to the boulders. Where would you go to boulder... ]]> Mon, 11 Mar 2013 14:32:00 -0400 13947 2013-03-11 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_bigboss2-1363012343.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_vanlife-1363012343.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_coupdelune-1363012344.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_bigboss-1363012344.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13758-island-hopping-chris-schulte http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13758-island-hopping-chris-schulte Last time I came to Font, it was to be sort of a vacation... There were projects I wanted to do, of course (there always are), but my intention was to sort of take it down a notch and have a little more fun, to not get wrapped up in the epic battle that usually ensues when I’m trying to climb at or near my limit. I managed to do a few of these projects that didn’t necessitate the simmering insanity that is a typical side effect of the mega-project, and they were some of the... ]]> Mon, 14 Jan 2013 20:53:00 -0500 13758 2013-01-14 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_screen-shot-2013-01-14-at-1-35-25-pm-1358196817.png http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_screen-shot-2013-01-14-at-1-36-21-pm-1358196818.png http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13757-return-to-font-chris-schulte http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13757-return-to-font-chris-schulte It’s a funny thing, flying to the other side of the world. The first time I got on a plane it was to come to Font- I still remember stepping off at CDG and letting the feeling sink in that there is actually another side to the globe, actually other places that we couldn’t just hop in the car and drive to. This trip is my sixth to the Magic Forest. Six times I’ve sat through the often-hectic and always dull flight on a tiny tube full of winter-sick people and at least one screaming... ]]> Sun, 13 Jan 2013 18:12:00 -0500 13757 2013-01-13 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-1567-1358100753.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-1549-1358100753.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-1561-1358100754.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-1566-1358100755.JPG http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13626-paris-world-championship-and-fontainebleau-diego-lopez-montull http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13626-paris-world-championship-and-fontainebleau-diego-lopez-montull I woke up at 6 AM to go to the airport in Denver. A day before I was at Nederland, where I have been living for the last five months. Waking up at that time, so early in the morning, has always been very difficult to me, but once at the airport I was all excited, doing all the checking-in of my back pack and stuff, ready to go to France.After the long eight hours in the plane, watching movies and trying to sleep, I finally get to Paris airport. There I stayed at my friends house, an apartment... ]]> Thu, 15 Nov 2012 08:12:00 -0500 13626 2012-11-15 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_best01-1352967138.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_best02-1352967139.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_font01-1352967140.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_karma01-1352967140.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_mongolit03-1352967141.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_mongolit01-1352967142.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_paris-1352967143.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12801-the-dagger-8bv14-and-climbing-in-font-niccolo-ceria http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12801-the-dagger-8bv14-and-climbing-in-font-niccolo-ceria Hi everybody!Long time has passed since the last blog spot has been written by me. I really want to say something concerning the first period of this 2012 season, especially about my trip to Fontainebleau in the first week of march. ]]> Sat, 31 Mar 2012 14:24:00 -0400 12801 2012-03-31 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_gourmandise-8b-1333203855.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_fata-morgana-8a-1333203855.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_imothep-8a-1333203855.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_imothep-8a-1333203856.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_la-coccinelle-8a-1333203857.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_la-gaule-7c-1333203857.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_the-dagger-3-copy-1333203858.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12763-if-only-ryan-silven http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12763-if-only-ryan-silven Exactly one year ago today I returned from my first trip to Fontainebleau, France. If I had my way I never would have left. I took some footage from the trip and together with Jon Glassberg and Alton Richardson we made a little movie of my time there. There wasn't any rhyme or reason to the boulders I filmed, they were just things that looked nice, or were different than the standard Font fare, or I just happened to have the camera ready. The pictures in this post are courtesy of France and it's beautiful pastoral countryside. ... ]]> Wed, 21 Mar 2012 01:03:00 -0400 12763 2012-03-21 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_font3-1332291822.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_font1-1332291822.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_font2-1332291822.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_font4-1332291822.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/10484-fontainebleau-to-swiss-and-back-again-david-mason http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/10484-fontainebleau-to-swiss-and-back-again-david-mason Fri, 15 Oct 2010 14:34:00 -0400 10484 2010-10-15
