Another Little Film: Gothenburg Bouldering

Threw together another little movie from some old footage. These are a just a few problems in the Gothenburg area that I had footage of. Most of the problems are located more or less in town and don't even come close to scratching the surface of what is to be had. For those of you that don't know, Gothenburg is one of the better climbing cities I've ever seen and if it wasn't for a below average climate I'd have a hard time finding a rival.

Hope you enjoy

Vallhamra

Trying to salvage my weekend after a planned trip to Bohuslan fell through I went back to Vallhamra, a rarely visited area just outside of Gothenburg. I'd established a few problems there a year or so ago and remembered a few worthy lines still to do. It ended up being great as I FAed 4 new quality problems, one of which climbs out a cool triangle feature on a beautiful roof and goes on the list of best in Gothenburg. For some reason my memory had downplayed the area and I have no idea why it took me so long to go back there. I think it's interesting that Vallhamra is barely mentioned in the Gothenburg bouldering guide despite being better than other areas and easy to get to.

On a side note, I named the best problem Hammerstryke after our unborn child. Lina says the name can only apply while the kid is in the womb, but I wanted the name to live on so I attached it to an exceptional boulder problem.
Anyway, here's some pick of the new problems.

Peter on the Doughnut King. Quite a lot of climbing for such a short wall. A good time.

Twister. Pretty unique and super fun.

Peter on Stomach Capacity. This one took a little work and was trickier than I thought.

The other Peter on Hammerstryke. Super good problem out a beautiful roof.
