Double Boogy and Back Swing

I recently put up two new problems near the Golf Wall just south of Gothenburg.  The area now holds about a half dozen difficult(ish) problems along with some easier problems and warm-ups.
 
Double Boogy is one of the new problems I put up and required a couple days to suss out and complete.  It climbs out a steep face using an awesome sloper and some trickery before some big moves at the top.  I needed a colder day and some try-hard to send this one.

The other problem is a fun roof I'm calling Back Swing that uses some cool holds and requires some body tension.

Here are a couple pictures.

 Gearing for the third bump on the arete to gain a good hold.  This is the last "hard" move.

Back Swing.  Kind of turdy but fun none-the-less

Not So Bad After All

After a very rainy start Sweden did show it's softer side to Antonio and blessed him with some sunny days and crisp conditions.  Antonio has a new lease on life and can once again be in the presence of sharp objects without an urge to stab himself.  Crazy what happens to desert folk when they are deprived of sunshine.

Here are a few picture of Antonio not sulking in the rain.

 A new line we brushed up.  Unfortunately the tree interferes with the top-out.  Can't win them all

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
