Video Quickie: Jorden Runt I En Kundvagn

As of recent I've been trying to make more quality videos.  This mean taking more time to set up and shoot the multiple angles and more time editing the material before I'm happy with it (or mostly happy).  Generally it means less climbing for me, which is compounded by the fact that I also have a little girl to take care of that puts additional limits on how much I get out to climb and of course the ability to shoot good angles and sit down for enough time to do some quality editing.  It is with this in mind that I've decided to supplement my video production with some "set up a tripod" videos that I can make with little effort.  Here is one of those "quickies" on the classic Jorden Runt I En Kundvagn at Lyse Kyrka in Bohuslan.  Hope you enjoy.

Falsifierbarhet

A couple weeks ago Lina ticked off one of the west coasts finest, Falsifierbarhet in Hogen.

More from Hamburgö

As I said before, Stenkyrka is a pretty sweet area.  Unfortunately there are some access issues as the folks that have their summer house next to the boulders apparently don't take too kindly to climbers.  This generally mean one of several things....

1)  Choose an approach to the boulders that does not go through the middle of their property and don't climb on the boulders next to the houses.

2)  Don't visit the area in the summer when the residents are there.  I'm told they are there most weekend during the summer and you can generally tell if someone is home by the presence of a boat docked out front.  

3)  State you have the right to be there and do whatever the hell you want, further aggravating the situation.  

If people do get a chance to visit this area I hope there are no incidents.  Here are a few more pictures.

Stenkyrka FAs

A few weeks ago spent a day at Stenkyrka on Hamburgö.  This area is small but packs quite a punch as the number of quality of problems is impressive.  During our day we climbed the classics and added a few or our own.  Here are some pictures of the FAs that went up that day.

I haven't dubbed this one yet as I feel it deserves a good name.  I'm sure something will come to me.

Thought I'd share this shot though I'm not sure how much it'll be appreciated. 

Lina has an little surprise awaiting her at the top.  Who is that guy anyways?

Bishop Bouldering: Drifter Classics

Another video from this winter.  This one captures the three standard classics on perhaps the most popular/famous rock in Bishop, the Drifter Boulder.  Hope you enjoy.

Puddles

One of the new problems on Tjörn I dubbed Puddles.  The name came about after blood pooled up in one of the first holds.  The flapper gushing blood was actually from a different problem but it just wouldn't stop bleeding.  Anyways, I had tried this problem for a couple days and the carnage made the FA that much sweeter.
