There is only one month until my trip to Nepal and I have been training pretty hard lately. The two best methods are by far hang board excercises with my ice tools and drytooling in Hans Tavsens Park. I go drytooling about three or four times a week as it is just across the street from where I live. Here are a few photos that Martin Paldan shot of me while training recently:

This weekend I went ice climbing in Rjukan with Martin Ploug and we did Juvsøyla once again, simply because it is such good alpine training. The next day we did four multipitch WI5 routes to get some mileage on ice. This was a very good and efficient day of climbing, but unfortunately I broke off a large chunk of ice on the last pitch of the day and caught it right in the eye, scratching the cornea pretty badly. It didn’t feel that bad so I went to work on Monday, but the next day ...

This weekend I was in Rjukan (Norway) with my climbing partner Martin Ploug once again, but this time we had professional photographer Martin Paldan with us. He took some really cool photos that I would like to share:

We started by climbing “Juvsøyla”, which turn out to be very good alpine training as there was over one meter deep snow all the way to the bottom of the climb. We had to dig a trench through the chest deep snow on our way up the approach gully and the mixed first pitch was bas...

Today I finished a small drytooling guide for Hans Tavsens Park, where I train a lot. The grades vary from D3+ to D6 so it is not very hard, but it is technical and good training for the mountains:
