Short notice Kjugekull-trip

On a Wednesday evening in mid April, I got a text off Carlos asking me if I wanted to come with him and his family to Kjugekull over the weekend. At first I thought there would be no way for me to make it as they where leaving the very next day, and I was suppoused to work the Saturday. But, not really knowing how I managed it, I found myself climbing in the sun with Carlos, Anna, Jon and Viktor for three days.

I feel like I'm never doing well climbing in Kjugekull. I tend to only get close on the things I am trying. Maybe it´s because I am used to be able to do many tries to work out problems, which is not possible in Kjuge due to the sharp rock. I however managed to get up at least a couple of things I had not climbed before and was very happy with that.

La Théorie des Jeux 8B

Yet another quick send for Nalle. Fifteen minutes of work and one more testpiece is in the bag. Watching him climb generates a lot of motivation, but also gives some perspective on how good some climbers really are...

An evening at Pierros

Pierros is a small bar in Tousson run by Pierro him self. It´s definetly well worth a visit, if not for the good food so for the huge variety of beers. (Note: It´s only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings).

Out of sight - A film by Neil Hart

Neil's film-project has been a big part of my spring in Fontainebleau, and something I am very proud and happy to be a part of. It's been a pleasure to see Neil's dedication towards this project, and I'm not doubting that the finished product will turn out at least as good as the trailer bellow.

"Fontainebleau is one of the most popular climbing destination on the planet, with thousands of boulders spread over hundreds of areas. From he classic areas of the Franchard and Cuvier to the less know areas of Buthiers and JA Martin. Come follow a group of the worlds best climbers as they explore the most hidden beautiful boulders of this enchanted forest. They will take you on a journey to parts of the forest you have never heard off and boulders you have never seen, Not only that but boulders just of the paths in the main areas that are so beautiful but seldom climbed."
