Five Ten, Another Supporting Element In Shuteye Ridge's Bouldering Development!

It is wonderful to have the support of Five Ten in Shuteye Ridge's bouldering development. Five Ten’s roots trace back to Yosemite and Joshua Tree National Parks, which are other climbing destinations located in California that's near Shuteye Ridge. I am psyched in Five Ten's efforts to enhance our climbing community's experience with supporting and helping many climbers for decades with their products. Five Ten is now the top leading brand out of America!

Five Ten's is providing their supports for the development of Shuteye's huge bouldering Mecca with their incredible products. Let me introduce you to some of their products, the Dragon (great for steep overhangs) and The Pink (great for moving on technical slabs). Five Ten shoes work well for establishing the different kinds of bouldering problems and help in performing novel movements we all encounter!

Five Ten has verity in hiking shoes, I use the Camp Four - Dark Shadow which is highly useful for approaches, slick rock, Aid climbing, and sketchy trials in the mountains. It will get you back from your destination in a comfortable shoe. Explore the verity of Five Ten's incredible products to facilitate your adventures in climbing, hiking, and biking!

 The History of Five Ten
  
Five Ten, which is named after the Yosemite Decimal Point System, started out from the experience within climbing. Charles Cole, In July of 1985, after a particularly exhausting solo marathon up the Steck Salathe on El-Captain in Yosemite National Park, Cole, in his hurry to return to Camp 4, had a near-miss slip while descending to the valley floor. By the time he safely reached the ground he had formulated a plan and Five Ten was born! Since then, Five Ten "the Band of the Brave" has been leading in revolutionizing climbing products in performance, and high-friction footwear enhancing our experience and safety!

Asana, A Supporting Element In Shuteye Ridge's Bouldering Development!!

If your a climber/boulder and have not heard of Asana, get psyched for today you'll get introduced! Asana is truly summed up as Everything Bouldering, and supports Shuteye Ridge's Bouldering Development Project! I give two thumbs up and if I had a third that will be raised as well. It's wonderful to develop Shuteye's bouldering with their support and innovation in bouldering products. Their crash pads are light weight, versatile, durable, and quality products. I had a choice on who to partner with on this adventure. I chosen Asana due to their desire to support the climbing community and evolve our bouldering lifestyles. Asana is psyched to see bouldering movements such as Shuteye Ridge's development and supports adventures that expands bouldering for the entire climbing community. I'm grateful for their support!

Asana has been a leading pioneer in the art of developing bouldering gear. They have helped the climbing community by designing products that enhance our safety since 1999. I must mention they have a  COOL COLOR selection. Their pad designs are very innovated with products such as the Gunther Supperhighball Pad (which can piggy-back another pad in it's straps). Also, the Pro Spotter Pad, ( Which I recommend watching the video on the link to view the usefulness of this pad! ) it's the top supplemental pad made for climbers. Check out the different Asana products for your next adventure!

The First Development Trip In September 2013

Photos of my first bouldering trip to develop Shuteye Ridge, joined with my friends in September of 2013. I am ready to head back into Shuteye this coming April of 2014, until Shuteye's gates close due to snow. Bouldering hasn't been developed and thousand us of undeveloped boulders rest in Shuteye Ridge! If you want to plan a trip feel free to ask me any questions on what to bring, I want to help you! Shuteye is tough to visit by car without high clearance, 4 wheel drive and all terrain tires. I recommend to stay prepared if you plan to head there and please, share with us on this blog! You can keep in touch with our Facebook page "Shuteye Ridge Bouldering Development" or feel free to just post on the Blog. Thank you for reading and psyched for the adventures ahead at Shuteye Ridge!
