A Ray of Light and a Little Video

So the epic weather has only recently let up and I hope this means the weather gods have changed their tune.    This should mean that we will be getting out more and the blog will explode with photos of a smiling Antonio.  It's not too lake for Sweden to show it's softer side as Antonio got a pretty bad first impression.

Here is a little video from Antonio's first couple days in Sweden (and a little old footage).  I'm lucky enough to have found, brushed and FAed all four problems in the video.  When it's not raining Sweden is pretty sweet.

Hope you enjoy

Rain Rain Go Away

I've been back in Sweden for 10 days and I think it has rained everyday.  The weather is so bad that even Swedes are commenting on the dreary conditions and unfortunately the forecast calls for more of the same.  This weather weighs on my soul and it is doubly disconcerting because I coaxed my good friend Antonio to come for an extended visit.  I just hope the weather gods smile on us before Antonio loses all hope and starts hitting the booze.

Despite the horrible weather we have made it out a couple times.  There are a few problems that tend to stay dry(ish) and the brief windows of opportunity has enabled us to compile several hours on real rock over a week.  Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Bohuslan Bouldering Video

Still no climbing in the icy purgatory that is Sweden. Been going to the gym a couple times a week in hopes of not being completely worthless for Hueco Tanks. Only 10 days left and then I'll be basking in the sun and flailing on boulders in the USA.
Until then, here is another video. This one has a few problems in Häller and one problem on Orust.

Hope you enjoy.

New at Bro

Not much climbing lately but I still make it out a time or two. Last weekend I was in Bro and we brushed up a new wall, yielding two new problems and one project. Here are a couple pics.
