3 from in between the showers

From what I hear, weather in Font has been great this winter. Unlike last year when I was there, dragging my bad karma to the forrest. However, despite the fact that I did far from as much climbing as I would have wanted to, I still have'nt used all the footage I gathered during that time. While sat thinking back of last winter, I came to think of these bits of unused footage and decided to try making the most of (some of) them. Hope you enjoy what I did!

For old time sake

Few climbers I've met are bursting with such passion and energy at the rocks, as Said. Just the fact that he climbs more than hundred routes 8a and above every year, I think speaks for itself. Last week, while paying a short visit in his old hometown, he spent an afternoon at Hyltebergen repeating his training-circuit from back in the day. A bunch of sevens and a couple of eights, in between sushi in the sun and dinner at his mom's place, is a pace one can only dream of keeping up with.
