I bide my time, get stronger, and have another crack at them. One such boulder is a very steep prow... ]]> Mon, 26 Nov 2012 19:23:00 -0500 13649 2012-11-26 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_silven-newlin-4resized-1353957806.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13571-something-darker-tim-rose http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13571-something-darker-tim-rose Last Saturday was the DRG comp which always pulls a big crowd and many strong competitors in the open category. This year was no different. Fellow 5.10 team member Josh Larson came down from Boston to compete. The field was stacked and as always, the problems were great.

The trip definitely did not go as planned and I had a few unfortunate set backs. First off was the weather and then on my 3rd day of climbing I manage a pretty nasty gash down my left forearm. The only upside that I can think of is the fact that I got to climb 2 AMAZING V13's, Clan of the Cave Bears and The Mote in God's Eye, both at... ]]> Thu, 13 Sep 2012 03:24:00 -0400 13451 2012-09-13 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/13451_untitled-1-1347549976.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_216053-4124769089797-9261034-n-1347506659.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13186-colorado-1-jimmy-webb http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13186-colorado-1-jimmy-webb So for the past 7 days we've been out here on the beautiful front range of Boulder, CO. This is most definitely turning into my home away from home. I've spent around the last 5 summers here as it is definitely the number one spot to escape the dreaded "off season".
