Hey! This last week and current days have been very cold. We had to handle with snow, wind and very low temperatures in order to climb. Luckily, most of the walls are south faced and dressed with our coats, gloves, hats and with some hot tea in our thermal bottles, we managed to climb. Some [...]

Another nice Montserrat sunset. Click the photo to see the needle we climbed. After a year living in Barcelona and about 30 days of climbing and 10 days of hiking in Montserrat time finally came to try one of the magic needles this crazy little mountain has to offer. As always I turn to Pere [...]
The author on tufas in Margalef. Photo: Fredrik Nyberg If I have to choose one place in the world to go sport climbing, my vote is on Margalef. I just love everything about this little valley. The routes are almost always just excellent. The valley is beautiful. The weather is good. And let's not forget: [...]
