This year i was so surprised about all the amazing classic boulders and of course of the incredible landscape! Nearly the whole time i was going from one area to the next trying to repeat all the amazing classic boulders like Shozoloza, Black Shadow and Black Velvet...... At the end of the trip i started trying some of the harder lines but then i was running out of time.The time i spend in... ]]> Sun, 19 Aug 2012 21:44:00 -0400 13374 2012-08-19 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-1254-1345412678.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_mooiste-meisie-8b-1345412678.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-1801-1345412679.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-1741-1345412679.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_gopr1950-1345412679.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-1693-2-1345412679.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_green-mamba-1345412679.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13366-some-tripping-kuutti-huhtikorpi http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13366-some-tripping-kuutti-huhtikorpi Hello! It's been a "while" since my last post... Last summer I went to Rocklands and climbed a bunch of amazing stuff there. For examle Blackshadow, Shosholoza, Macho King, Amphiteater, to mention some of the ones I liked most. This summer I had a trip in Europe. First I visited Magic Wood. I felt really strong, but wasn't able to climb any of my projects. I was close to send One summer in Paradise at my last day, but hand slipped on the very last move. I would like to blame the hot... ]]> Fri, 17 Aug 2012 05:12:00 -0400 13366 2012-08-17 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_-mg-6796-1345180372.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_-mg-4848-1345180373.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_-mg-9432-1345180373.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_-mg-2652-1345180373.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13304-paradise-in-rocklands-nina-williams http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13304-paradise-in-rocklands-nina-williams My time at the Rocklands is coming to an end, and I feel sadness just from typing that sentence. Its been a crazy last few weeks; aside from the endless bouldering there's been so many new experiences as well! Braai-ing up the best ostrich and lamb meat, being welcomed into a very international community, meeting new friends, trying new foods, driving on the left side of the road, and somehow living without the internet have all been incredibly eye-opening. For my first time out of the country I've been told by many that I hit the nail on the... ]]> Thu, 26 Jul 2012 13:46:00 -0400 13304 2012-07-26 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_out-of-balance-1343310365.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_nina-cat-1343310366.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_sa-pano-1343310366.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_rhino-1343310366.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_rand-1343310366.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13268-namibia-south-africa-guntram-joerg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13268-namibia-south-africa-guntram-joerg The last years I have been traveling a lot around Europe and I have seen really amazing places but Namibia topped them all easily. I never was in such a peaceful silence area where I even got so relaxed that I forgot about going climbing!I´m mainly traveling with my friend Arjan but a lot of strong and inspiring people are climbing together with us. After I had quite a bad time before I got here being ill and loosing some weight I´m getting back into the climbing. I feel really relaxed about everything and I enjoy a great South... ]]> Sun, 15 Jul 2012 12:55:00 -0400 13268 2012-07-15 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_zodiac-topside-1342356909.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_dave-on-a-simple-knowing-8b-1342356909.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_capetown-sa-1342356909.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_gu-climbing-e-cig-8a-1342356909.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_topside-dave-graham-crew-1342356909.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_namibia-car-gopr-1342356910.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_gu-flashes-brothers-of-the-cape-1342356910.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13227-10000-miles-for-my-first-time-nina-williams http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13227-10000-miles-for-my-first-time-nina-williams South Africa; a land of established beauty and miles of untapped potential. I’ve seen pictures, I’ve watched videos, and I’ve heard first-hand accounts of the bouldering that I’ll be exploring for the whole month of July. But everything I’ve heard will be nothing compared to the experience. It’s something I can’t even imagine right now! The farthest I’ve lived from my birthplace in New England is right here in Colorado; I’ve never been outside our country’s borders.

It doesn't matter how much spare time you leave to pack, it always comes down to the wire getting spare parts organized and bikes taped up in their boxes. We are leaving tomorrow morning for the 15 hour trip from Sydney to Durban, RSA. Got all day:), so I figured, plenty of time to write a blog:) ]]> Thu, 08 Mar 2012 02:45:00 -0500 12711 2012-03-08 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-2817-1331174702.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-2839-1331174702.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-2832-1331174702.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_vervet-monkey-05a09077-1331174702.jpg
