With her groundbreaking tick-list of 5.14d redpoints and 5.14 onsights, coupled by a brutal competition year (for her competitors that is), Sasha’s last years in the climbing arena has put her pro-climbing career in full swing. Her poster girl image has gone beyond the climbing mags and graced the pages of more traditional media outlets like Vogue Magazine and The Washington Post. Sasha graciously “took five” with me amidst her new and... ]]> Thu, 07 Feb 2013 08:57:00 -0500 13804 2013-02-07 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-7496-1360227443.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_sashcli-1360227443.png http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_sashacl2-1360227443.png http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-7376-1360227444.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-8791-1360227444.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_sash4-1360227444.png http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13797-dont-get-pumped-sasha-digiulian <![CDATA[Don't Get Pumped - Sasha DiGiulian]]> http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13797-dont-get-pumped-sasha-digiulian You know when your forearms feel like they are going to burst open and you can't physically close your hand? How about when you get the elvis leg and start shaking all over? Or, better, when you go for the next hold and think "I'M SO PUMPED?" Well, by then you are probably off the wall. The truth is, endurance is very mental. Sure, climbing laps and doing routes back to back, circuiting, and eating healthy helps, but in all honesty, that can be hard to do sometimes. So what do you do when you need an alternative method... ]]> Sat, 02 Feb 2013 05:21:00 -0500 13797 2013-02-02 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_erabella5-1359782485.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13623-pan-american-games-2012-francesca-metcalf <![CDATA[Pan-American Games 2012 - Francesca Metcalf]]> http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13623-pan-american-games-2012-francesca-metcalf I just got back to the USA from spending a few days in San Juan de los Morros in Venezuela for the Adult Pan-American Games. I had a great time- Venezuela was definitely a crazy new experience for me. The town was apparently pretty dangerous- especially for Americans- so I wasn't able to do much sightseeing, but the hotel and competition area were enough of a culture shock for me. No one spoke any English- which was expected, and I was excited to practice my Spanish- but also, no one understood my American accent, so it was extremely difficult... ]]> Tue, 13 Nov 2012 05:32:00 -0500 13623 2012-11-13 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_photo-2-1352784743.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_image-5-1352784743.jpeg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_image-2-1352784743.jpeg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13346-adidas-rockstar-brought-to-you-by-five-ten <![CDATA[adidas Rockstar Brought to You by Five Ten!]]> http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13346-adidas-rockstar-brought-to-you-by-five-ten Check out the strongest boulder athletes competing at the Porsche Arena Stuttgart, Germany!!!"

I tried way more 13c’s than I ever have on this trip, and I even ended up sending one of them (my second ever!). I also tried my very first 13d, which was exciting and a personal achievement in and of itself.

The comp was one of the best Nationals I have been to. The venue and wall were better than I had expected, the field was very strong, the problems were well-set (and hard!), and my free time was spent in great company laughing with good friends. In the end, I came out in 2nd, and it was quite a fight. The weekend was a success on all fronts. ]]> Tue, 06 Mar 2012 06:05:00 -0500 12701 2012-03-06 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-0361-1331013922.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-0382-1331013922.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-0400-1331013923.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-0364-1331013924.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-0395-1331013925.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-0414-1331013926.JPG http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12699-la-rambla-ben-spannuth <![CDATA[La Rambla - Ben Spannuth]]> http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12699-la-rambla-ben-spannuth A Mann down at the airport, we headed straight to La Rambla after landing in Barcelona; the street not the route. Meandering down Barcelona’s main pedestrian street we stopped at the market for lunch and some groceries after watching the energetic, tiny fur-ball roborovskis for sale. Just narrowly missing purchase from Keith and Sasha the tiny hamster has been taken up at the team name and butt of countless jokes. ]]> Mon, 05 Mar 2012 21:10:00 -0500 12699 2012-03-05 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_spain-2-29-2012-406-1330981816.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_spain-3-3-2012-808-1330981816.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_spain-3-3-2012-321-1330981816.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_spain-2-29-2012-5-1330981816.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_spain-3-3-2012-16-1330981816.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12691-backstage-at-the-2012-bouldering-nationals-chris-schulte <![CDATA[Backstage at the 2012 Bouldering Nationals - Chris Schulte]]> http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12691-backstage-at-the-2012-bouldering-nationals-chris-schulte The 2012 Bouldering Nationals, held in Colorado Springs, Colorado, saw one of the strongest fields that North America could have provided.

No matter how long I leave for I feel like a haven't missed a beat on Tues and Thurs nights at CATS and bouldering with the strong guys here is always motivating to become more powerful. Matty Hong and Jon Cardwell in particular are killing it right now and doing boulders I could barely, if even, do the moves on. In addition to probably too many gym sessions, I've made it outside a few times to see my first few real days of winter and down to Colorado Springs... ]]> Mon, 27 Feb 2012 06:10:00 -0500 12670 2012-02-27 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_space-jam-small-1330323038.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_kynan-abs-prep-1330323038.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12644-mayan-smith-gobat-spain-bound <![CDATA[Mayan Smith-Gobat - Spain Bound]]> http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12644-mayan-smith-gobat-spain-bound Desert, mountains, beautiful boulders, psyched friends and endless splitter days… What more could one ask for? This pretty much sums up my stay in Bishop! After barely bouldering at all for the last five years, over the last month in Bishop I really discovered the joys of bouldering. The simple pleasure of doing a short sequence of moves, being able to focus purely on individual movements. That said, I was most attracted to the big, bold and strikingly beautiful lines, which are relatively abundant and are what Bishop has become famous for. I loved the commitment... ]]> Fri, 17 Feb 2012 21:49:00 -0500 12644 2012-02-17 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_-mg-6875-1329515363.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_-mg-6961-1329515363.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_-mg-6922-1329515363.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_-mg-7032-1329515363.jpg
