Chris interviews famous people and puts together panels to talk about climbing most important issues. It's a fun podcast that helps fills the many hours we climbers spend driving from one destination to the next. The latest one, number 14, is all about climbing partners.

First of all, I finished my master thesis the 20 of January. Nice piece of paper on something that can be traduced as “liability for debts from the member of an association”; I can assure you that the content was as sexy as the title J. ]]> Mon, 18 Jun 2012 22:12:00 -0400 13171 2012-06-18 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_dsc00647-1340057539.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_dsc00680-1340057541.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_dsc00688-1340057542.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_dsc00593-1340057544.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_dsc00197-1340057546.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_p1060759-1340057547.JPG http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13126-checking-out-big-chief-with-some-friends-seth-rogers http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13126-checking-out-big-chief-with-some-friends-seth-rogers My friends, Mirko Caballero, Dylan Myerhoffer, Matt Grossman, Cameron Reid and I wanted to climb Memorial Weekend. We figured it would be too hot for Bishop or the Pinnacles so we went to Big Chief up at Lake Tahoe. Everyone said it gets too hot at Big Chief when the sun hits it around 1:00 so we figured we had to get our climbing in the morning. But the surprise was on us - it was so cold that weekend that we hit snow driving in Friday night! Mirko was driving up from Jailhouse and they... ]]> Wed, 06 Jun 2012 04:55:00 -0400 13126 2012-06-06 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_dylan-big-chief-1338958505.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_seth-and-mirko-big-chief-1338958505.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_seth-big-chief-hanging-1338958505.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_seth-big-chief-1338958505.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_seth-dylan-ethan-1338958505.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13028-canadian-bouldering-nationals-tour-de-bloc-2012-alex-david-johnson http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13028-canadian-bouldering-nationals-tour-de-bloc-2012-alex-david-johnson For the second year in a row I was able to head on up to Canada to compete within the Canadian Nationals, this year held in Montreal. Yet again the Tour De Bloc crew did an amazing job of putting together a great competition. QualifiersThe qualifying round began April 15th very early in the morning compared to most comps in the US. It took a little while for my body to get used to the early morning climb as I had just arrived just a little before midnight, from Denver, the night before. Thankfully, I... ]]> Thu, 03 May 2012 06:46:00 -0400 13028 2012-05-03 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_148713-3782014789713-1257253525-33683070-1892610808-n-1336027614.jpeg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_319793-10150689797088857-505458856-9640683-202710125-n-1336027614.jpeg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_383512-3739927937568-1257253525-33665749-1019157301-n-1336027614.jpeg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_548559-3739928097572-1257253525-33665750-466662116-n-1336027614.jpeg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_574876-3739926137523-1257253525-33665740-1210376453-n-1336027614.jpeg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_574955-3782011629634-1257253525-33683062-1524728017-n-1336027615.jpeg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_577382-3782019469830-1257253525-33683081-63031730-n-1336027615.jpeg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12815-a-trip-to-red-rocks-urs-moosmuller http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12815-a-trip-to-red-rocks-urs-moosmuller For the past week I have been climbing in Red Rocks, Nevada enjoying the warm desert temps. The climbing here is world class and every day is a new adventure. There are so many routes here that its hard to stay focused on one route and immediately I abandoned the thought of projecting routes. Instead I focused on sending 13’s within a few tries and exploring the classic sport routes scattered around Calico Basin. ]]> Wed, 04 Apr 2012 04:36:00 -0400 12815 2012-04-04 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_dsc-0195-1333514187.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_dsc-0006-1333514188.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_dsc-0034-1333514189.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_dsc-0078-1333514190.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_dsc-0121-1333514190.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_dsc-0127-1333514191.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_dsc-0181-1333514192.JPG http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12788-climbings-newest-member-jen-vennon http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12788-climbings-newest-member-jen-vennon I would like to introduce the newest member of the climbing community, Brooklyn the wonder-pup! Andrew and I drove to Colorado Springs on Sunday to expand our little family. It’s only been a few days, but we are already in love with this little ball of feistiness.Today will be the first day we attempt to take out new friend climbing. I love when there are a few well-behaved dogs at the crag, but I get as annoyed as the next person when they are running on ropes, stirring up dust, and otherwise making a mess of things.

When you first enter the canyon all you see is choss. To the left and right there is nothing but steep hills and loose rock. But as you progress forward you start seeing small cliffs with unique features and good sized walls. The day before planning our day trip to CCC we checked the weather and saw a high of 61 degrees, but didn’t check the wind forecast. ]]> Thu, 01 Mar 2012 04:59:00 -0500 12686 2012-03-01 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_dsc-0112-1330577959.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_dsc-0215-1330577960.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_dsc-0128-1330577961.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_dsc-0058-1330577962.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_dsc-0181-1330577964.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_dsc-0241-1330577964.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_dsc-0271-1330577966.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12685-long-weekend-in-sinks-canyon-wy-jen-vennon http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12685-long-weekend-in-sinks-canyon-wy-jen-vennon Over President’s Day weekend I made a weekend road trip to Lander, WY. Winter has been dragging on and “life” has taken it’s toll in the last few months. Work, work, and more work . . . that’s all I feel like I do. But a three-day weekend is a rare thing and something to be taken advantage of. So we packed up the car and set out on the lonely roads that connect Colorado to Wyoming. What we found were good friends, fun times, and sunny walls to climb. Months of no climbing have left me weak and... ]]> Thu, 01 Mar 2012 02:32:00 -0500 12685 2012-03-01 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-1848-1330569157.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-1868-1330569157.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-1853-1330569157.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_lander-2-1330569158.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12613-clear-creek-canyon-alex-david-johnson http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12613-clear-creek-canyon-alex-david-johnson Decided to go out to Primo Wall a couple weeks back (Jan 21st) with some mates from the gym (DBC): Allen Cheney, David Mullins and Mark Rohr. First climb on my list to send was "Shine 14a" which I had tried a few times before in colder weather but just kept freezing off right after the crux, darn it haha. The weather was very nice that day and go figure I forgot the beta. After, I figured out the moves again, I sent next go.
