Vänge

An excellent problem, just off the road, with well spaced holds, we ticked the FA of the sit. Benjamin Pettersson sighting in the crimp, Vänge, Uppsala, Sweden.

An absolutely brilliant problem and after four sessions it's done! Shawn Boye sticking the sloper on Volt, Jumkil, Uppsala, Sweden.

To embrace the night, darkness, is not to become less but rather to open one's mind to more possibilities. And in this case, it involves removing the pads to avoid a dab. Which didn't seem to be a problem at the time... At the time I felt that X-rays of my foot might tell a different story. It also calls to mind an incident a few years back which might have led to the prescription of a little Lithium. I recommend chalking any potentially wet top outs to avoid the necessity of repeating what was already difficult to do in the first place...

It's a strange dyno, more like grabbing at something while falling away than thrusting toward it, yet when it goes, it's effortless. Shawn Boye almost sticking the dyno on Untermensch! 7B+, Focksta. The send would come a little later during, this, the second session.

Untermensch!

I have a mantra for climbing success, its as simple as "Don't let go!" Unfortunately, this might not apply to low ball bouldering and the dreaded "dab". Untermensch! is such a problem, you can stick the jug and still not send, the crux being to keep your cutting foot off the pad. Shawn Boye working Untermensch! 7B+, Focksta.

Humanus Inferior

We come out at night, under the cover of darkness, free from the fear of persecution... Christoffer Westin working Untermensch! 7B+, Focksta on a sticky winter evening.

Bananbänken (Banana bench)

A canopy, the perfect set up, Per figured it "Looks like a christmas tree." It's getting to be that time of the year, let's hope the stick sticks around a little while yet... Per Arnsäter fighting and sending Bananbänken 6C, Fiby.

What else would you do on a Thursday night?

Starry conditions and -2 °C, "What else would you do on a Thursday night?" wondered Emil Ragnarsson. Despite his amorous overture and delicate crimps Med Ena Foten i Bäcken 7A, Fiby steadfastly resisted. The trick is to stand up on your right foot and for me, after a decade of on again-off again attempts its all over.

Tottes Hund (Tottes Dog)

Some guys go out in the forest and take pictures of themselves, for whatever reasons. I suppose it's both promotional and artistically challenging, nonetheless, its much more fun to share the experience. Jonas Wigren sticking the "other" crimp on Tottes Hund 7A+, Fiby, Sweden.
