Sun, sea, speed boats and secret beaches – my last weekend in Sardinia. 2am was not a happy hour for waking up, and was even less happy when I walked out of my door to pouring rain and a flat battery in my car. With my brain still cloudy from sleep, I struggled to think how I would fix this problem and still catch my soon to depart flight, from Munich, two hours drive away. The garage was closed, I had no jump leads, and the airport shuttle had already left... things were not looking good. The €300 ...

This past Saturday night was our once-a-year date night. . . .We aren't big on going out without the kids much - we take them with us pretty much everywhere. Each year we go to the Central PA showing of the Banff Film Festival . This year's movies were great - perfect outdoor fodder - and Saturday was the night showing The Asgard Project chronicling the epic big wall send of Leo Holding and his team. What's great about attending events like the Banff Film Festival World Tour is that you find yourself ...

The prime bouldering season is now really kicking in here in Finland and I've been taking full advantage of the good temps. I've spent four sessions on what I named the Sisu project. All I can say at this point is that it is the hardest boulder problem I have ever tried in my entire life. It's still difficult to say if it actually goes or not. So far, after four sessions on it, I've managed to do one single move, not counting the five last exit moves that I did on a rope (which are also hard). In total,

i am now back to boulder. the 4 week trip was amazing! after arkansas i headed to red rocks to check out the first ascent potential. i soon found that the potential there was endless! people tend to go to red rocks for the sport climbing however i could easily see this area becoming quite popular in the future! as for my trip i did a bunch of exploring and climbed a few lines that will only be the begining of the climbing in red rocks! i found an amazing project and cant wait to get back again soon! check

The Finnish wonder-kid Nalle Hukkataival has, after twelve long days of attempts, finished the amazing project we were calling Project Real Big. Naming it Livin Large and proposing a grade of 8C, this is Nalle's hardest problem to date and his hardest first ascent. The climb now ranks among the most difficult in Rocklands and the entire world. Livin Large is the single most daunting boulder problem I've ever seen in my entire life. Nalle Hukkataival Spirits were low for a little while as we spent day after

Last winter a friend of mine found this new boulder close to Helsinki that had an amazing project on it. It's definitely not easy to find lines here that are really hard but still have all the necessary holds. On overhangs the granite often seems to have either big holds or just a blank face. This line was not one of those. I was really stoked to have a project close to my home that was A. really hard, but possible and B. a five star line! photo: HeikkiToivanen.fi Since January I've been anxious to get on

Lately I have been motivated on projects and it seems that Red Feather is one of the best areas to put up new, quality, hard problems. Last week I got lucky and managed the first ascent of The Vampire and I think this is only the tip of the iceberg. Climbers have been putting up tons of new problems in Red Feather but there has been very little in the way of problems V11 or harder. This weekend I tried a sit start to The Product, which will bump the grade up to V12. There is another amazing project called
