Shannon is making breakfast in the van (sausage, eggs and broccoli). I've got a hot cup of coffee and the air is crisp and clear. If I weren't in such poor physical shape, today would probably turn out to be a fantastic climbing day. ]]> Mon, 06 May 2013 00:26:00 -0400 14063 2013-05-06 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_2013-04-19-15-54-40-1367799965.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_2013-04-19-16-18-31-1367799965.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_2013-04-25-11-13-05-1367799966.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13991-five-ten-adds-to-its-world-cup-dominating-downhill-team-with-steve-smith-brook-macdonald-and-cedric-gracia http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13991-five-ten-adds-to-its-world-cup-dominating-downhill-team-with-steve-smith-brook-macdonald-and-cedric-gracia April 2013 - Redlands, CaliforniaFive Ten, the leader in high-friction, technical bike, climbing and outdoor footwear, announces the addition of Steve Smith, Brook Macdonald to our Elite Team and Cedric Gracia to our European Downhill Team.

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/13554-hey-everyone-sonnie-trotter http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13554-hey-everyone-sonnie-trotter It’s been a whirlwind for me this year. My summer was filled with great guiding experiences, climbing, and establishing new routes. I put up so many first ascents it was hard to keep track of. Often times I had moved on to something else before I could document the climbs from the week before. Squamish is booming with new route activity, and we are in the golden age of it all. There were no less than 6 new crags discovered this year and I tried to climb at all of them, yet, to no... ]]> Thu, 18 Oct 2012 21:13:01 -0400 13554 2012-10-18 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/13554_battle-of-evermore-1350595111.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/13554_freerider-1350595111.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/13554_nothing-in-moderation-2-1350595112.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/13554_the-masher-crack-2-1350595112.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/13554_the-nose-1350595113.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13498-team-510-product-review-kyle-francis http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13498-team-510-product-review-kyle-francis I recently got a pair of the new Team 5.10 shoes, and oh my goodness do I love them. First of all, it looks badass, you put them on and you just feel cool. They’re very sleek with dark colors, and just the overall appearance is great. The way they perform is like no other shoe. I have been climbing in the dragons for multiple years and there was a noticeable difference the instant I put them on and got on the wall. They combine the aggressiveness of the dragons with the softness of the moccasins to accommodate for... ]]> Mon, 01 Oct 2012 04:37:00 -0400 13498 2012-10-01 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_teams-1349066246.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12471-norco-bicycles-welcomes-jill-kintner-and-bryn-atkinson-to-norco-world-team http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12471-norco-bicycles-welcomes-jill-kintner-and-bryn-atkinson-to-norco-world-team Vancouver, BC - Norco Bicycles has partnered with Jill Kintner and Bryn Atkinson, as title sponsor, to re-launch the Norco World Team.
