Recently I’ve been training with Scottish alpinist Malcolm Kent, who temporally lives in Copenhagen. He is the probably the best unknown climber in the world. He has done everything from M13 mixed to 8c+ sport to insane WI?? to a solo of Gasherbrum IV’s Shining Wall (the most impressive unreported alpine accomplishment I have ever heard of)!

It’s a great opportunity for me to learn how to train like a pro and already within a few months I have pushed beyond my previous best climbing shape, so I’m really excited about the upcoming winter.

Last year my focus was on ice climbing and this year I try and find my limit on mixed routes.

First, however, I will go on a short trip to Patagonia with David Gladwin (UK), who is an old friend of mine. As always it will be interesting to see what kind of weather and conditions we get. Anyway it will be a great opportunity to test some gloves from GripGrab.

Also, I just got a huge shipment of gear from my main sponsor Millet, so now I’m more than ready for winter to begin..

One last training session before Patagonia:
