The whole city stretches for 573 square miles and sits in a dried up lake basin at an altitude of 7,350 ft. There is a ton of bouldering located in the city and around the surrounding hills. The rock is mostly volcanic with some granite areas scattered around and the problems range from V0 to V12. During my stay in the city we checked out two areas close by. The first area is a volcanic cliff line at UNAM which is... ]]> Sat, 04 May 2013 20:21:00 -0400 14061 2013-05-04 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/14061_dsc-0015-1368210454.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13649-adaptation-ryan-silven http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13649-adaptation-ryan-silven One of my favorite ways of charting progress is by returning to projects that I'd cleaned and tried in the past and finding that they're all-of-a-sudden doable.

One such boulder is a very steep prow... ]]> Mon, 26 Nov 2012 19:23:00 -0500 13649 2012-11-26 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_silven-newlin-4resized-1353957806.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12476-the-feather-jamie-emerson http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12476-the-feather-jamie-emerson This winter I made a quick trip back down to Hueco Tanks, one of my favorite bouldering areas in the world.. For me Hueco has been a place to live out many of the dreams I've had about bouldering over the years. One problem that has eluded me for more than 10 years is The Feather. This iconic problem was established by Fred Nicole probably in the 90s. Regardless, it is one of the most unique and interesting rock features I have ever seen. For those who don't know, a near perfect "feather" is imprinted into the rock, and... ]]> Sun, 08 Jan 2012 05:20:00 -0500 12476 2012-01-08 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_387602-10150520376538913-702813912-8654631-1042375102-n-1326000002.jpg
