It was an amazing few months, jam-packed with travels all over the globe to Revelstoke, British Columbia, Canada, Courmayeur, Italy, Chamonix, France, Kirkwood, California, Fieberbrunn, Austia, and Verbier, Switzerland. The schedule was crazy, and the jet lag took a while to recover from, but the experiences of travel, freeriding, snow, and events were unbelievable. I cannot wait for what 2014 has in store for the FWT. Now I have a few free months... ]]> Mon, 29 Apr 2013 21:30:00 -0400 14051 2013-04-29 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-20130121-00274-1367271006.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-20130324-00428-1367271006.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-20130124-00289-1367271007.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-20130207-00337-1367271008.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-20130125-00295-1367271008.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-20130307-00380-1367271009.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-20130308-00394-1367271010.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13755-dam-base-jumping-ellen-brennan http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13755-dam-base-jumping-ellen-brennan In the winter it is much more difficult to access the big wingsuit jumps, so right now, I am focusing on the lower objects around town. Lately I have been considering jumping a dam, which is not to far from where I live. But when jumping an object like this, it is best to get some advice from the locals. Luckily last weekend I met 2 jumpers who live just below this dam! Guillaume and Jonathan knew all the beta on the access, landing, weather... it seems I had found my guides! And it also seemed it was... ]]> Sat, 12 Jan 2013 15:00:00 -0500 13755 2013-01-12 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_photo-1-1358002844.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_photo-5-1358002844.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_photo-2-1358002846.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_photo-4-1358002847.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/13755_-photo-3-1358002846-1358195953.JPG http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13407-speed-8c-in-voralpsee-switzerland-nico-favresse http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13407-speed-8c-in-voralpsee-switzerland-nico-favresse I have just repeated Speed 8c+ in Voralpsee, Switzerland. I am so psyched! I finally sent this amazing historical route! It took me 12 days to do it. It's probably the longest I have spent on a sport-climb. The warm temperatures of the summer and the sharp holds didn't really help either but the route was too good to give up and too many tries were too close and gave me too much hope. Sending it come as a nice pressure relieve as it went down on my last day, last try before heading to my next adventure in... ]]> Tue, 28 Aug 2012 15:45:21 -0400 13407 2012-08-28 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/13407_img-5909-1346253565.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/13407_dsc-0325-1346168974.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/13407_p1020967-1346168975.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/13335-wounded-warrior-weekend-jeff-provenzano http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13335-wounded-warrior-weekend-jeff-provenzano Just after Shooting the Toyota Spade Commercialin Death Valley CA , I flew to Virginia Beach to link up with Red Bull Air Force team mate Sean MacCormac. We flew in for a wounded warrior event that would raise money and awareness for the brave men and woman who risked their lives defending our country’s freedom.

I lay on the bouldering mat curled up in a ball but the pain wasn’t going away. All I could think of was the noise I heard when I hit the mat. A few deep breaths helped me to compose myself.
