September I headed back up to Squamish for the start of the school year. September and October continued a stretch of amazing weather in the Pacific Northwest, which allowed for a ton of climbing in Squamish. I got on the amazing Eurasian Eyes, a 5.13 knife edge arete climb about a third of the way up the face of the 2000 foot tall chief. ]]> Thu, 27 Dec 2012 03:26:00 -0500 13723 2012-12-27 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_541272-10151095912972809-1642064474-n-1356578812.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_398303-10151104711047809-179001296-n-1356578812.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_384309-10151104711902809-2011933652-n-1356578812.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_1392-10151186304227809-227116617-n-1356578813.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_563606-10151218207322809-1308577269-n-1356578813.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13654-coming-up-for-air-chris-sinatra http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13654-coming-up-for-air-chris-sinatra After weeks on the road calling parking lots home and sleeping in a space the size of a double-wide coffin I’ve returned to civilized society. For the first time in 6 years I made it home in time to join my family for Thanksgiving. In between the alternating rounds of voracious food annihilation and family banter I took some time to reflect on where the last few months of 2012 have taken me. ]]> Tue, 27 Nov 2012 18:07:00 -0500 13654 2012-11-27 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_p1020037-copy-1354039636.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_imgp2553-copy-1354039638.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_scan-2-copy-1354039639.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_scan-1-copy-1354039639.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_scan-13-copy-1354039639.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. The forest didn't disappoint this go around, either. It was my third time there and most extended visit yet.  ]]> Sat, 10 Nov 2012 02:45:00 -0500 13616 2012-11-10 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-0461-1352515554.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_paul-sir-le-twat-1352515554.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_flann-frontside-1352515554.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-0511-1352515556.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_reckoning-stand-so-1352515556.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13073-a-spring-update-jason-kruk http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13073-a-spring-update-jason-kruk Hey Five Ten world. A quick update: Most have likely read about my and Hayden Kennedy's trip to the Cerro Torre range in southern Patagonia this past winter, so I won't go into much detail. We had what I would describe as an audacious season, climbing all four Torres (Standhardt, Herron, Egger, Cerro Torre) in fine fast style. Also, a new route on another beautiful face we called The Gentleman's Club. We managed to be the first to skip the hundreds of bolts placed along Cerro Torre's southeast ridge, what they called a 'fair means' ascent.
