Posted: 28-05-2010 00:00 in category Aid Climbing  Climbing Nostradamus, grade A2, Välaberget, Jämtland. My first aid pitch ever! Last week I finished a three day aid-climbing course with Pierre Olsson. Pierre is a great authority in aid/bigwall cimbing in Sweden with over 50 climbed bigwalls (8 of them were solo ascents). A resume of his climbing cv: El Capitan 20times, Trollväggen, Norway, Expedition to Shipton Spire Karakoram, American Direct on Petite Dru in Chamonix, Fisher Towers in Zion National park. Pierre is also a strong speed and free solo climber. He knows this game! He know how to stack Pitons, use skyhooks, nail RURP's and birdbeaks etc. etc. Sylarna is a small but exciting mountainrange with three peaks over 1700m, the peaks give approximately 700-750 feet vertical drop skiing in all directions. You can reach any skiing in the area from Sylarnas Mountain Station(cozy and relaxing refuge). Here are some of the photos of the week. There will be more pictures and more information about the different skitouring routes in Sylarna shortly. It has been a long time since my last blog-update but here is a short review of what I’ve done. During January and February I spent four weeks of ice-climbing and skiing in and around Chamonix including six days in Cogne, Italy. Ice-climbing conditions were great! I’m Back in Sweden since a couple of weeks now and the weather conditions here are still quite hard. The spring hasn’t arrived yet… We have had some long periods of over -30˚ degrees (-37˚ as coldest). Go freeriding or skitouring in this kind of conditions is not really my style. Anyway, happy that the ice is fat and the ice-climbing season will be long! Next week I’m looking forward to do six days of skitouring in Sylarna, Jämtland. I will put up more info about this trip soon. Hope for a little bit milder weather then... The autumn in Jämtland has been very mild. No ice climbing until…now!!! Today I went to Västerberg Offerdal, not optimal conditions but climbable. The weather forecast for next week promise cold temperatures so hopefully we will get good thick ice..? Looking forward for next week! Now you can read about our North face ski descent of Aiguille du Plan in the latest issue of the Swedish skiing magazine "BRANT". It's always nice to go skiing after a long summer and autumn. Today I made 750vertical drops together with my dog Siri. It will hopefully be more skiing later this week. For those who doesn't know my new life situation here is a short summary; I quite hockey and will for now on go 100% for skiing and climbing. I moved with my family to Offerdal Sweden, not far from Åre skiresort. I’m looking forward to be able to climb and ski all year around from now on. One of my goals is to start the Swedish UIAGM guide program in 2012. You will be able to read more about projects and future later on the “About” section. By the way, the photos from Matterhorn, Moine etc are now updated. Go to "Mountaineering". Had some really nice automn climbing in the alps last week. Did the Petits Charmoz traverse, climbed the South ridge of Aiguille du Moine and the Lion ridge of Matterhorn within a couple of days. More photos will be updated soon!
