Saw this last night, a decent film by Shawn Boyd of some of the tasty problems here in Sweden. Although manages to totally miss the rock in my neck of the woods

Worth a look if you like the granite steepness

Awww thought this was another food topic......

anyways trailer look great, is anywhere in the UK selling it?

Sweden's been on my my wish list for some time now the lake side stuff in particular looks excellent,
anyone know of any English language info on the place??

jwi · June 18, 2007, 07:27:33 am

There is little information in English, I'm afraid. It's really rather tiresome to write in a foreign language so it's hard to be bothered.

Kjuge: http://www.kjuge.nu/kjuge/eng/

The seaside /baltic bouldering in the movie is from Ulorna (BohuslÃ¤n) and HÃ¶nÃ¶ (Gothenburg) I assume (I have only seen the trailer).

The aid/trad in Ulorna is described in the bohuslÃ¤n topo, if I remember correctly. (I think the guide has directions in English & German to all crags). Mon GoÃ»t looks fantastic, but Goteborg Bouldering Online lists only 3 problems in Ulorna.

A guidebook for bouldering in Gothenburg can be bought via the climbing wall KlÃ¤tterfabriken ( http://www.highsport.se/ ) and via FjÃ¤llsport ( http://www.fjallsport.se/?content=map )

You may ask your questions on http://www.jug.nu/forum/ (you should be able to figure out how to "Registrera dig"). They should be able to be more helpful than a Nagoya resident...

Unfortunately, most of the bouldering in Sweden is not served by any guide-book anyway. It's like Japan.

Dunno about UK sales but I expect if you mail tielma they'll sort something. The boulders in the rest of the vid got me pretty psyched too, a lot of good new areas keep poppping up all over the place. There are guides for the major places, but best thing is to contact the local clubs/walls via jug etc, and get yourself a recent local topo.

the bouldering looks well brown. I gotta get me out there

jwi · June 21, 2007, 08:39:22 am

http://www.tielma.com/sm.aspx click on "News" then on the entry for 2007-06-20 to get a pdf with directions to every spot shown in the movie.

Quick link to some photos from Rosendal and around, from one of the local clubs down south

Svenska, bastard hard to learn............well the bouldering chat isn't!
Saw the beginnings of a vid just about rosendal, looks well worth a trip down for me, and if you're on summer hols it's near Ã–rebro

Nibile · July 11, 2007, 11:09:02 am

i thought this thread was about swedish pr0n

runt · July 14, 2007, 01:20:31 pm

Sorry to disappoint Nibile, you want the Aland vid for the toned blondes

Christobal · September 30, 2007, 08:16:23 pm

If you need info about bouldering in Sweden in general and Stockholm in particular, www.bloxc.com is the place to go.

r-man · September 30, 2007, 10:49:45 pm

I watched this DVD just last night. Was pleasantly surprised. Slick editing, well filmed and in HD to boot. Lots of excellent looking problems. Lots of 8as, a few 8a+'s and more 7c's than you can shake a stick at. Even the custom made shaking sticks. And the easy stuff looks pretty inspiring too.

I want to go to Sweden!

runt · October 04, 2007, 01:02:41 pm

And it doesn't piss it down all year

Houdini · October 09, 2007, 09:21:45 am

Vittu. Swedish can't be as hard as Finnish now can it? Why it's half-German already!

runt · October 10, 2007, 01:30:58 pm

good point! finnish would probably overload my brain, but its all the sk, k tj stuff in swedish that leaves sounding like a mumbling fool.
hit us with your finnish skills!

Houdini · October 11, 2007, 07:59:16 am

Ahem! I have already, can you spot it?

Food ingredients lists: a great way to check your progress overseas (rushes to the fridge to retrieve some booty) -

Salmiakkitäytesuklaa? Come again, Squire? Oh you mean: Mjölkchoklad med salmiakfyllning. Clear as day to me!

Swedish Meatballs is a pretty decent film, much better that what's come out of Finland of late. Which is crazy - Finland is not short of lines to shoot:

imponerande! ater mycket kanske = forstoppning?
Agreed, time for the finns to get some film out, have you seen the pics of the new-ish hard stuff on Aland?

Houdini · October 13, 2007, 11:34:55 am

Palms sweating.

You vill post them, yeeees?

A trip to Aland cannot be far away, I'm not always a fan of forests (so hemmed in, I get the fear in forests/jungles). Bouldering with the taste of the ocean in your mouth: so very fine a pastime.

runt · October 13, 2007, 08:11:48 pm

I felt the fear in the woods today, mainly thinking 'has some pissed up moose hunter got me in their sights?' Concerns me that camo is now the in look round here.
Although the newish area in Aland is in the woods not really by the sea, the only fear to be had is that of those b£Stard blood sucking ticks. Best find some photos then, and remember how to spell that nalle blokes name? I'm thinking december time for a re-visit, what d'you reckon? Are you lot coming from the depths of the fin?
Be good to get on that sitter to martikinnen (excuse the rape of finnish spelling).

Houdini · October 15, 2007, 10:31:46 am

Agreed! Camo is definitely the thing to be wearing this time of year. A Finn mate of mine has a habit of wearing this really good/shite type of camo that fucks with your eyes in an magic mushroom kind of way. I can't look at him.

Ticks. There is also that black Moose Fly thing. The one that lays a single egg under the skin. Apparently they don't parasitise humans, but it hasn't stoppped them trying with me. You know the one? A flat, jumpy thing - it loves hair.

(I'll be coming from the depths of the Reeperbahn.)

The sitter you mention, is it this?

Spell it how you like, I wouldn't know the differfence.

runt · October 16, 2007, 08:50:37 pm

Are these moose flys the same blighters that land on you, then drop their wings and scurry into your hair/armpit/unmentionables, if so I also hate them. Surprising that anything still lives given its been -6 at night here, hopefully they'll all perish soon.

Didn't realise you were a hamburger, I stopped there the other week on the drive back, forgot how entertaining the bahns are.

The sitter is the very same, old news maybe but I heard some viking lumox had knackered a foothold, so maybe harder? have you done it already?

Houdini · October 17, 2007, 12:06:04 pm

Think these are the same flies.

Clear some confusion: Never been to Aland. Want to. (Not done that problem, obviously.) The rock looks in good nick. Is this meant to be some showcase problem or something?

EDIT - Found this:

Super Martikainen 7C

runt · October 17, 2007, 05:08:14 pm

Yeah the rock is general really good, expect you'll enjoy it when you get there, the ice smoothed stuff is very slap-able. I guess that problem doesn't look much, but yeah it's popular, the moves on the stand up were ace so keen to have a go at the sitter, although a it's big old stretch to start.
