It's not that we haven't been climbing, we have. We just haven't had time to pick up the camera. Kristin cruising Blitz, 6b, Gåseborg.

Vampyren

Beware the nesting birds on Vampyren, we didn't see them until we were cleaning the route and then, sadly, right after we'd rapped off, one chick fell to it's death. Vampyren should be left alone until the remaining chicks take wing.

Veera Kainiemi enjoying the slabby start to Vampyren, 6a, Runsa.
