Sunny Sablons morning

Resting between goes isn't to hard when you can wander around in a beautiful setting like this.

I am very proud to have contributed to the new Tierra spring & summer catalog. Check it out and flick to page 26 to read my article about Albarracin!

L'Apparemment 8A, Apremont Envers

I think it´s rare to find moves like them on L'Apparemment outdoors. To me it feels more like climbing on a crowdpleaser-competition 

problem, rather than using the right beta for a Fontainebleau climb.

Forêt Noire 7A

The other day, me and my visiting friend Henrik Sennelöv, was shown by Neil to this amazing slab in Beauvais. After first having cleaned the thing, that didn't seem to have been climbed on in ages, I managed to work out a sequence with which I could do the problem. Pure joy is a good way of describing what I felt, both during and after my ascent. Undoubtedly one of the best slabs I have ever climbed.

A hidden gem

La Cage aux Fauves in Coquibus Arcades can probably be considered a hidden gem since I don't think it sees allot of traffic, despite the fact that it's a beautiful line. The picture is showing Fredrik Sydstrand making the second move on it.

Barbizon

 

 Not that any of the villages around Fontainebleau is particularly low class, but if 
you want be in the crème de la crème, Barbizon is the place to go...

Hard work

Sydde

I am very impressed by how Fredrik Sydstrand is climbing. Not only is he really strong, but also fast, accurate and techniqual in his climbing. Using this combination of skills, he makes it look like he's running up pretty much every problem (or at least the ones I´ve seen him climb). I am stooked now that he and Jenny is here to spend their parental leave, since it hopefully means that I will get to climb and hang out more with them...

A place to stay

If you are having trouble finding somewhere to stay in Font, I can recommend you looking up this cozy caravan. An affordable accommodation 
in a charming environment, only steps away from the boulders in Gorge aux châts.
