As climbers we try to push ourselves, some more than others; similarly, we place different value on our accomplishments. For some it's the journey, not just the goal that matters... What are you looking for in your next climb?
Often we play to our strengths, but to improve we would do well to focus on our weaknesses. While Breña doesn't appear to be much more than a couple of boulders, the technical nature of the route does not reward misplaced feet... The sum is greater than the parts, providing a sense of appreciation for each bolt. Add to that a majestic fall day at Baggensfjärden and you've got an absolutely fantastic route.
There's really only one way to approach sending, complete commitment, or in the words of Jonas Wigren, "A whipper is good for the moral." Too true...
Well, it was a different route but we weren't that far off... Linda Sandgren delivering for the photo shoot on Nedkomsten 5c, Ekoberget, Stockholm.
"About that time when I wrote Heart of Gold, and I was touring, I had also -- just, you know, being a rich hippie for the first time -- I had purchased a ranch, and I still live there today. And there was a couple living on it that were the caretakers, an old gentleman named Louis Avala and his wife Clara. And there was this old blue Jeep there, and Louis took me for a ride in this blue Jeep. He gets me up there on the top side of the place, and there's this lake up there that fed all the pastures, and he says, "Well, tell me, how does a young man like yourself have enough money to buy a place like this?" And I said, "Well, just lucky, Louie, just real lucky." And he said, "Well, that's the darndest thing I ever heard." And I wrote this song for him."

Ry Morrison demonstrating the spring belaying technique... Yuji would have been proud, but when you've been inside for 6 months such minor details are irrelevant. Ry flashed Ekoturism in good style. 
It's not that I'm skeptical to slabs, Ekoturism is a fantastic climb, it's just that it's more efficient to move one's eyes than head...
