Meeting up with Björn and Bengt

After two days in Tres ponts with very cold nights, up to -12, we continued to Vilanova de Meia were we found a supernice little crag. We spent another two days here and did some really nice routes! 
After seven days we had our freinds Björn and Bengt comming from Sweden to join us for the rest of the time in Spain. We stayd another few days in Catalunya before we went south to Margalef!

Back from the dead!

With renewed motivation it’s time to start writing again. The past few months has mainly involved training, work and travelling. I feel like I’ve finally settled down in Stockholm and it starts to feel more and more like my new home base. To summarize what has happened I’ve started to work with climbing courses at Klätterverket which has given me a lot of valuable experience. I’ve become a certified indoor instructor which was a natural and fun step to take. Next step is to do the final test to become a certified outdoor instructor. To get some more experience as an instructor I am going to work for Guidebyrån this summer. Guidebyrån is a nice little company based in central Stockholm with a good atmosphere that is providing a vast selection of climbing-, kayaking- and ice skating courses with high quality instructors. Check out more about what they are doing here http://www.stockholmsguidebyra.se/.

Last week I came home from three weeks of climbing in Spain and what a beautiful place that is! I went with my good friends Sabine, David, Ted, Björn and Bengt. Bengt, our personal guide for the trip, showed us some very nice spots around Lleida and I will post some pictures here in the weeks to come starting today.    

Setting up base camp in a wineyard outside Lleida. The first couple of nights surprised us with cold weather down to -12! 




First climbing day at Tres ponts just north of Oliana, such a nice and cool day

David playing on a supernice7b named with a question mark!? I think that says a lot about the quality of the climbing in Spain.
