There's something special about the north, maybe it's the cold winters, the contrasts between the seasons, the distance and space, the slower pace, that brings people together. We tend to have a greater appreciation for each other when life is harder.It's always a pleasure to climb with the good folk from Norrland, they're an inclusive and supportive bunch and they know their climbs. There's nothing quite like Norrlands beta, it's like the sixth man of climbing, you know in advance what you don't; forget visualization, just listen, climb and you'll be fine...
Considering the circumstances, its tough to judge, but it's unlikely it holds the grade; knowing exactly where to go and how to get there... Shawn Boye flashing Lutande tornet 7a+, Nacka Kvarn, Stockholm.
