Multi-Pitch Climbing, Montserrat, Aug 22nd

A full day of multi-pitch sports climbing in Montserrat north-west of Barcelona with the guide Toti and the fellow climber David. In the heat approaching and probably passing 30 celsius, the hiking, scrambling, abseiling and climbing was quite strenuous. It’s an unusual type of rock here, like pebbles in cement. The routes were not too hard, but I was still very tired on the train back to the city.

Sports Climbing, Cobra Cave, Sat. 11th of Oct

Saturday sports climbing with the Malta Climbing Club at Cobra Cave.. A location where the routes are new and the cave offered nice shade around noon.. Did a couple of 6A+ routes and got pumped pretty much immediately,  I need to do this much more often.. But regardless, nice training and great company on a sunny day!

Sportsclimbing, Ghar Lapsi Caves & Xaqqa Seacliffs, Sep. 21st

On Sunday we continued the climbing with more sports-routes at Ghar Lapsi Caves and a multi-pitch at Xaqqa Seacliffs.. I was not impressed by my climbing form, but at least I'm starting to get the hang of techniques for rope-work and safety again.. We wrapped up the weekend with some DSW-traverses where the swims when falling were very enjoyable..

Sportsclimbing, Southern Malta, Sept 20th

Trying to get back into climbing so headed to southern Malta with the guide Kurt and tried out routes in Wied Babu and Ghar Lapsi area.. 33 degrees Celsius and 80% humidity took its toll but luckily we had a steady breeze to soften the blow a bit..

Rock Climbing, Ekoberget, Sweden

An afterwork rock climbing session with my brother at Ekoberget, southeast of Stockholm.. I first lead a sportsclimbing route that is supposed to be pretty easy but I still got a bit of the "Elvis" shakes in my legs and was pretty pumped.. Still so much to learn, and form is bad after colds and lack of training.. Anyways, great evening, after I topped out the first time, we did that route and the one to the left of it a few times top-rope style and then we were done..
