Bagged

Baggen is a route that seems to have gotten an abnormal amount of attention; the justification being that it has been Jonas' nemesis for a year or so, a wonderful combination of crimps, power and endurance that has finally been put to rest?

Here's a look back...

We're all looking to send, but when you're shut down does it leave you wanting more? Sure, once you've sent, there's that moment of jubilation and then it's off to the next problem. But when you're denied, there's the desire to overcome, a way to find, a challenge to meet, that results in the euphoria of the send. We climb to overcome? Jonas Wigren looking forward on Baggen 7a+, Finnsvedsbergen, Stockholm.
