Bistaberget

Some people escape to warmer locations to start the season... but climbing here, in the setting sun after a long, cold winter, what could be better? Linda Söderlund working on Likplundraren, 6c+, Bistaberget.

Just moments before...

Run out?

Contrary to the guide book, the obvious line to Skriet från vildmarken, Bistaberget, is straight up the crack, or at least that's how I climbed it, placing a couple of cams after diverging from the described line.


After several attempts at the traverse and not intent on a big pendulum, Oscar, who didn't have any gear with him, decided to run it out straight up the crack, if you call 3m between bolts running it out. Just as Oscar finally managed to clip a bolt on an adjacent route, Kapten Krok, one of his feet popped, adding a bit of drama and making for a memorable climb.
