Le Blond, la Brute, et le Manouche - Video

France, Italy, France, Italy, Greece, Italy, France, Austria, France, Italy, Austria, England, Austria, Itally, Switzerland, France, Spain, Mexico, France - My last two months... This time of year is always hectic, it seems like the majority of my work and non climbing commitments all come at the same time, which is a good thing as it leaves a lot of the year free, but can sometimes be frustrating when climbing has to be put on the back burner, and you feel yourself growing fat from all the eating out and


More on Orbayu

Image from Google There is now a full report from Nico and Adam on Black Diamond's website. Both climbers says it is an exceptional route and that they would like to thank the Pou brothers for their vision for this line and their effort to put it up. On the unavoidable subject of the grade, they say they felt the route was a bit easier than the grade given. Instead of 8c+/9a for the crux pitch, they suggest 8c or 8b+ depending on your height. I mentioned in the update that Adam had had an accident after...

Patagonia 2

Image from Google I really like sweets from the bakery.. this is what I got in Bariloche: really sweet nice sweets After two nights in Hormigas home and some nice Argentinan dinners we moved on. I thought that I was the only one travelling with two very big bagpacks. But the others also had a lot of stuff. On the way to the bus. In Patagonia there are a lot of streets without asphalt so it's very often very dusty like here on the bus.. We had to go more than 1000 km to the south to El Chalten. We spent one night and one day


Patagonia 1

My first trip to South America. It was a very spontaneous idea... During the Ice Climbing Festival in Kandersteg I was talking with Nico about Bigwalls in Patagonia. He planed to go there two weeks later. I didn't had any plans for february because I thought I had to learn for university. But at the end I could spend one month travelling. I was very lucky to book a good flight only 6 days before I started to Argentinia. After a long flight I reached Buenos Aires. The plan was to go to Bariloche to meet ...

Asgard Jamming review

While on a rest day on a trip recently I watched the Asgard Jamming DVD and liked it so much I’ve been meaning ever since to get some copies in from the Favresse bros for the webshop. I got round to it! I think even if you have no intention of ever climbing a big wall never mind walking 600km in a single trip just to get to Mount Asgard, you’ll find this film very entertaining. It’s certainly the best piece of big wall filming I’ve seen. It follows Nico and Oliver Favresse, together with Sean ...
