Well it is time for number 20, and don’t go to the adventure to empty…
It has been a hard week, due to training and work. Overall nine workouts and 590 minutes. mentally it is a challenge, I feel tired..but it is now the experience and skills will be the best of friends..
Today it will be about fast and light, I have talked about this before but it is important. With the sky running and record all the time to the top of the mountains, this will become a risk. When the ”normal” adventurers will try this, we will see more accidents. With too little equipment, and less experienced people there will be more work for the mountain rescue organisations. All of us aint so good as Ueli Steck:-) even with the best of ice-axes:-)

When speed and light-pack will be more common there will be more rescue activities.
We most all ask ourselves; why are we doing the adventure for the speed or for the treat? Maybe slow adventure with fully feeling will be the best…

You are right about that Ulf. Light is right but equipment can’t never make up for experience and judgment. Every piece of gear should be possible to use for three purposes.
Always think of harsh conditions when trying out new gear in the store. But on your Googles half full of moisture, a pair of thick gloves and try the gear out..
