Making the transition from typically easy route reading and grippy rock in the RRG to the cryptic beta and polished limestone in Rifle was not an easy one. I envy the climber with the talent to immediately evolve and feel strong and accomplished when switching between such drastic styles. ]]> Wed, 29 May 2013 21:37:00 -0400 14112 2013-05-29 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_eighth-day-1369863475.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_harvey-gap-1369863475.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_squamish-hoody-modeled-1369863475.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_kansassky-1369863475.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/14036-road-trip-post-1-red-river-gorge-vikki-weldon http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/14036-road-trip-post-1-red-river-gorge-vikki-weldon The Red River Gorge! Ah, those words are music to my ears! Ever since I visited the area 3 years ago, I have yearned to come back. Yet unfortunately, the prime seasons for climbing (spring & fall) seem to also be the prime seasons for learning. So I put in my time, and I have emerged as a Registered Nurse! Yahoo! So did I jump straight into a full time job? Heck no. I have my whole life to work! Instead, my boyfriend Tom and I packed up our lives into a tiny storage locker, and said goodbye to... ]]> Mon, 22 Apr 2013 19:54:00 -0400 14036 2013-04-22 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_drseus-vw033-1366660457.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_20130411-dsc-0027-1366660457.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_20130411-dsc-0042-1366660457.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13616-squamish-2-the-reckoning-flannery-shay-nemirow http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13616-squamish-2-the-reckoning-flannery-shay-nemirow I'm long past being 'in' Squamish, that infernal rain has started, and the climbing season there has come to it's yearly close. Squamish holds a dear place in my heart, the destination of my first international climbing trip, the first hard boulder problems I flashed, the start of my first solo road trip.
