Prairie in the Tanks

My recent lack of climbing has certainly taken it's toll and after a day in the Tanks I've accepted the fact that this will not be a trip to send projects. My 10 days here should at least get me back in shape and maybe when the jet-lag wears off I'll get lucky and scrape up a project. We will see.


Until I post new material here is a little video of Prairie doing some classic moderates and yelling profanities. This is footage from a few years ago and Prairie now warms up on these problems. Give it a year and she'll be climbing harder than me.

Good Bye Sweden!

I'm still a couple hours from touchdown in El Paso and chomping at the bit to get my hands on some rock. The scene I left back in Sweden consisted of me going to the climbing gym and whining about how long it had been since I climbed. Well it is soon time to change my tune as I can start whining about how bad me skin is from climbing too much.

This is what Sweden has looked like for the last month. I reckon it will be in the same condition when I return at the end of January.

Leaving Sweden isn't all good as I'll be without me two girl for a couple weeks.

Two from the Tanks

The snow keep piling up here in Sweden but it's only a few day until I'm shredding my tips in Hueco Tanks. Can't wait.

As I gear up for the trip I figured I'd post some old videos from the Tanks. This first one is from 3 years ago and has two of Hueco's better "high-end" problems. Both the The Feather and Full Service are must do's and I had to work for both of them. Falling off the easy top-outs only makes the final send that much sweeter (and quite a relief).

Enjoy.

At Daniel's request, here is a video of his send of Eftersändning.

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.

Årekärr Video

Here's a video from from the new area I started developing this fall. Årekärr has proved to be pretty good and this is only a taste of the problems done with many of the best lines still waiting for fa's. As soon as the spring thaw arrives I'll head back.

A note, Bummel's roof is actually still a project as he never sent, I just clipped it together for the video.
Enjoy.
