Well as it turns out, that "minor injury" kept me out of climbing for a full month, and for the last three weeks I have been working my way back up to where I was. It's painful because of how badly I want to be where I used to be (stronger than ever before, and sending much more than I have) and I have to climb on only jugs at a very low level, or I will re-injure my finger. So far it... ]]> Sun, 19 May 2013 20:30:00 -0400 14088 2013-05-19 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_vxi-climb-1368995451. http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/14088_vxi-climb-1368996547. http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_vxi-and-others-1368995451. http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/14025-making-a-recovery-eric-sethna http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/14025-making-a-recovery-eric-sethna Tour De Bloc season 10 has come to a close with Nationals being held last weekend at Rock Jungle Fitness in Edmonton, Alberta. The sad part is that I wasn't able to go. In fact, I haven't been able to go to any competitions this season, with the exception of the season opener in November. Very unfortunately, I've been battling a serious finger injury which has kept me from competing for over 5 months. A nasty amalgamation of a pulley tear, tendon inflammation, joint discomfort, and a stubborn mentality to continually push my body’s limits has resulted in a... ]]> Mon, 15 Apr 2013 18:32:00 -0400 14025 2013-04-15 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_photo-1366050766.PNG http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/14011-a-tale-of-a-finger-hueco-and-abs-mirko-caballero http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/14011-a-tale-of-a-finger-hueco-and-abs-mirko-caballero Packing for Hueco was, to say the least, a little stressful for me.

First of all, I finished my master thesis the 20 of January.

My youtube channel is www.youtube.com/finelined if you would like to subscribe! You probably should. ;) So a few months ago I was badly injured in a skiing accident, (read my blog post on it here) but after lots of rehab, meditation, relaxation, and physio, I'm back feeling fantastic. I'm not 100% yet but a few weeks ago I was able to make my first jumps back, which marked me being back to doing everything I love. Here is to a summer full of biking, climbing,... ]]> Fri, 08 Jun 2012 20:18:00 -0400 13134 2012-06-08 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_Screen Shot 2012-03-19 at 11.58.18-am-1339186730.png http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_Screen Shot 2012-05-16 at 1.54.26-pm-1339186731.png http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_580478-745502954231-29002943-34710978-934853968-n-1339186732.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_Screen Shot 2012-01-10 at 2.38.12-pm-1339186732.png http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12964-suz-grahams-ski-crash-footage-released http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12964-suz-grahams-ski-crash-footage-released A little while ago I was involved in a gnarly ski crash that broke my leg, ribs, and ego- (check out the details, here http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12704-fire-and-ice-suz-graham-injury-report) And now you get to see the footage if you really want, if you are, you know... like that.

However, with all that fire comes the ice. The danger is real and the consequences can be heavy, I have been recently faced with the hardest physical hit I’ve ever taken. And I lucked out, should have been a lot worse, I’ve seen worse, had friends go through worse, but I’m still here.
