Last Tuesday I went to check out this nice winter crag near Lecco named Masone! Plan of the day was trying the moves of Adam Ondra's 2009 route Masoniamoci 8c+/9a(maybe 9a he says) and see if it could have become a possible project for the near future!...On my first day on it I was able to do all the single moves of the starting boulder problem but couldn't even link two of the hardest together. And I barely did the crux move, a deadpoint move from... ]]> Mon, 28 Nov 2011 18:43:00 -0500 12354 2011-11-28 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_maso1_1322505803.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_maso2_1322505803.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_maso3_1322505803.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_maso4_1322505803.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12255-china-petzl-roctrip-and-coup-de-bambou-gabriele-moroni http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12255-china-petzl-roctrip-and-coup-de-bambou-gabriele-moroni Petzl RocTrip 2011 in Getu Valley,China and FA of Coup de Bambou 9a! ]]> Thu, 03 Nov 2011 20:35:00 -0400 12255 2011-11-03 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_12245arche1320254807_1320352540.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_12245GabriCoupdBamboo9AFA1320254808_1320352541.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12245-five-ten-stowaway-tour-update-jon-cardwell http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12245-five-ten-stowaway-tour-update-jon-cardwell In a few hours we are sending off the French team. They have been here almost two weeks and for them its time to head home. Today is officially the last day of the Petzl Roc trip but our small crew of Americans are staying for another week. So far the RocTrip has blown my expectations. I can only imagine the mass amount of hard work and organization that went into making this event possible. China is far more foreign and distant that I could have ever imagined, from bamboo boats and houses, daily rice barbeques with meat and... ]]> Wed, 02 Nov 2011 16:59:20 -0400 12245 2011-11-02 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/12245_arche_1320254807.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/12245_EscapefromRain_1320254808.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/12245_EthanDancingWithTheDust2_1320254808.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/12245_GabriCoupdBamboo9AFA_1320254808.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/12245_JononSteps_1320254808.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/12245_JonlookinHard_1320254808.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/12245_Pano2_1320254808.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12240-update-from-the-five-ten-stowaway-tour-in-chinas-getu-valley http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12240-update-from-the-five-ten-stowaway-tour-in-chinas-getu-valley When we think about Five Ten, two words come to mind: hard and impressive. (That's not what we meant, so get your mind out of the gutter.) Hard and impressive sends was the story of the week when Five Ten invaded the Getu Valley in China. (probably shouldn't put "invade" and "China" in the same sentence. But, what are you gonna do?)

I left home with one route in the head. I bolted this beautiful line during a few days last spring and called it Bella Regis!...The rock formation is one of the most impressive I've ever seen, a huge roof prow and the route follows exactly the arete line with no possibility to go right or left!When I bolted it I hoped there were enough features to climb it and I hoped to find a next level route... ]]> Wed, 19 Oct 2011 20:08:00 -0400 12183 2011-10-19 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_21091325665678072251345052043329900441973686868o_1319054897.jpg
