Arnhem land 7C+
29 December 2014, 7:05 pm





Danny Salata working Arnhem land on a grim October afternoon. A problem that I would say deserves more attention than it seems to be getting. It offers cool movements on high quality granite and can be strongly recomended among the Stockholm gems.

2014
30 December 2014, 7:19 pm

Yet another year goes by. A year that I'd quite like to be erased from the history of time. So much happened, that I could never have predicted. Things that still is affecting me and forever will. Of course it's not been all bad. The time in Turkey was very stimulating. Not only in terms of climbing, but more than that on a personal level. The day I stepped on the flight back home, I felt more in peace than I think I've been in years. But still, I would trade every good experience if some things would never have happened.

Normally, this annual summary turns in to something of a long winded  story. But as I have not travelled, or even climbed as much as in the  last couple of years, I don't feel I can put much more to words then the  lines above. So to save my self from even having to try,  I will fall  back on the frequently used expression, that a picture says more than a  thousand words.

First weekend of Febuary, I was in Helsinki for the grand opening of Boulderkeskus Isatis.

For a couple of days more, I will be hanging out with my family back home. After that, I'm really looking forward to going back to Stockholm. I think, for the first time ever, I found an everyday life that I could acctually see my self being happy with for more than a couple of months. I'll see what 2015 has got to offer, but for now I feel Stockholm is the place for me to be.

Best new year wishes to all of you!

Shots of the legends 2014 - Problem nr.1
14 January 2015, 6:50 pm

As I did not post all the photos I took at the La Sporiva legends only in November, I though I could use them in this time of having nothing better to share. A desperate try to fill out the void that is the issue of not having climbed much in the past months.

Sunny side up
18 March 2015, 6:30 pm

A few shots from a beautiful afternoon last week spent bouldering at Källbergahygget outside Uppsala. We have been blessed with amazing weather in the last two weeks and after a long dark winter, every second spent in the sun recharges you with energy. One can only wish for not having the face another raincloud until the autumn...

2013 Fontainebleau outtakes
1 May 2015, 11:42 am

Working with routesetting I often find myself thinking back on outdoor  climbs I've been on with hopes of finding inspiration for what I'm about  to set. The other day I was using this "tool" perhaps a bit too much. I  started missing Font more than I've done in a long time. And as I think about this second home of mine pretty much every day, missing it more means missing it A LOT! When I got back home that night I immediately went on my computer and started looking at Font videos.  After a while I ended up seeing some old clips of mine and then stumbled  over some footage that I had not used. Since I had nothing better to do I  put some of them together to make the short below.

Gävle on a Sunday afternoon
13 May 2015, 7:45 pm

Last Sunday, Fredrik Sydstrand phoned me up and asked if I was keen on going out. As I have been injured all winter and just started climbing again, I've been sticking to climbing indoors. I feel that the risk of tearing my finger is smaller on plastic than on rock. At first I explained this to "Sydde" and headed for the gym. But as I stepped trough the door at Klättercentret, from the bright beautiful day it was, I realized that I could not miss out on a day like that. I turned around before I even got past the reception and as I did, I phoned Fredrik up. An hour later we where heading north, to Oppala in the city of Gävle. One of countless areas in connection to Stocholm that I have not yet visited (although the two hour drive makes it a bit to far to call it a Stockholm crag).



I was a bit worried that I would regret my decision, but fortunetely things turned out the other way around. Climbing on excellent rock in perfect conditions made me even more keen on training then I was before. I was reminded of why I'm spending many hours ever week rehabilitating, climbing circuits, doing core exercises and stretching. Hopefully if I keep it up, I will heal my wounds and maybe get in decent shape in time for the autumn!

Sydde was off course strong as allways. In the picture he is climbing Flygande kniven 7C.

Hero 7C+, Gävle
21 May 2015, 8:04 pm

Regardless of the fact that Sydde had  completely trashed himself working out the beta for The art of war,  he could not stay away from giving the neighbooring-problem a shot before calling it a day. I  thought he would'nt be able to move, but to my big surprise he  managed to dig out just enough energy (or perhaps it should rather be  called will power) to climb trough the crux on the short 7C+. Unfortunetely, that was as  far as what ever it was moving him upwards, lasted. He fell of on the last move before the juggy toput.

Hero 7C+, Oppala.

Video - 2 Font 7A's
22 June 2015, 7:24 pm

I quite like editing, but not climbing or filming outdoors much in the last year, I have to dig deeper and deeper into my archives to find footage that I can play around with. In a dusty folder with stuff gathered during my trip to Fontainebleau in the spring of 2012, I found two problems filmed by Sandstones media which had not been used in any video. Not having much to do the other night, I put them together to make this short...

James & Arvid hits Orminge

There are better days for climbing on slopy rails than the one Arvid Holmgren and James Thanawat chose to spend in Orminge a couple of weeks ago. In the photos they are struggling on Wong sai 7B+, which Arvid managed to repeat despite the 30 degrees in the shades.

Västervik weekend
25 September 2015, 10:34 am

Visiting Västervik is allways a pleasure. Not only is there lot's of good climbing, but the suroundings are so nice that just being in the beautiful nature could be worth the trip alone. Over the last weekend I left Stockholm to hang out with my German friends who rented a cabin just south of Västervik. The stay turned out great and I got to spend more time on rock than I've done in total in the last year. As you might understand I was pretty keen and ended up destroying myself already on the first day, repeating old climbs on Fruberget. Apart from that we ended up climbing only in sectors where I had no been. It was interesting to explore some new parts of the area and spot problems that I would like to come back and try when I'm finally recovered from injuries.
