But now I have found the correct method and wait anxious to return to do it!! I have been trying the route "Fish Eye,8c" and from the beginning it seemed to me to be easy for my style. Motivated by Daila to prove it, I have found this magnifac line of 50 meters of continuity and in every attempt I have improved very much!! It is very motivating to climb together with the best... ]]> Sun, 06 Jan 2013 08:45:00 -0500 13737 2013-01-06 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_565412-404277416318770-978483545-n-1357461921.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13436-annot-summer-trip-2012-ferran-guerrero-hervas http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13436-annot-summer-trip-2012-ferran-guerrero-hervas After a long time of hearing about this area located in the Haute Provenze and playing of Les Gorges du Verdon, we wanted to visit, we had explained everything, "nothing to envy Bleau, great, less people, etc, etc" so as the summer holidays were shorter than normal for the birth of our daughter, we wanted to maximize the days we would spend outside, and we were advised that it was a good place to go with children, and had every reason , allowing you to combine scale and family life both in boulder areas like... ]]> Thu, 06 Sep 2012 17:42:00 -0400 13436 2012-09-06 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/13436_annot-012-1347031524.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13424-summer-2012-part-2-zoe-steinberg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13424-summer-2012-part-2-zoe-steinberg It’s hard for me to believe that it’s already the beginning of September and I start my junior year of high school in two days! Summer 2012 really flew by…but it was a really good time, so I’m not complaining. After I got back from a month at the red, I stayed at home for a week or so, then headed down to the New River Gorge in West Virginia for a week. It was a great trip- we had amazing weather the entire week, stayed at a pretty cool campground (there were even free warm showers!), and got... ]]> Sun, 02 Sep 2012 17:22:00 -0400 13424 2012-09-02 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_418645-482193331809823-1286698036-n-1346606558.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_555647-482193928476430-41125462-n-1346606558.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-0460-1346606558.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_531497-482193775143112-1061962288-n-1346606559.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_578724-482193455143144-1599081935-n-1346606559.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13422-my-epic-summer-in-europe http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13422-my-epic-summer-in-europe It’s been a while since my last post, but I have some excuses: it’s been a hectic time since my trip to the Red River Gorge, and training to prepare for US Youth Nationals in Speed & Sport Climbing. I did go outside a few more times to Smith Rock, Pinnacles, Donner Pass, Jailhouse and Big Chief, and sent a few more 5.13’s along the way. But back to my Summer climbing...

This competition series is not sanctioned for CEC points, but competitors from across Ontario come out and have their shot at the title and big prize money. Aside from cash and bragging rights, this series serves as an excellent tool to practice my competition mentality.

Last week, a group of over 50 high school students, all part of rock climbing clubs from the Fremont Union High School District, headed up to Sanborn County Park to do a trash cleanup around Indian Rock. I decided to bill the event under the name Castle Rock Cleanup to try and promote awareness about the potential closure of the park, as well as the simple fact that it just sounds better.Indian Rock is across the street from Castle Rock... ]]> Thu, 14 Jun 2012 01:32:00 -0400 13155 2012-06-14 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_1-1339637527.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_2-1339637528.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_3-1339637528.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_4-1339637529.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_5-1339637529.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_6-1339637529.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_7-1339637530.jpg
