Every season got its own greatness. The autumn has its silences, and peace. Now is the time to get out there and feel the calm. Nature prepare for winter. Some of the days are so still so you can taste it.

At the moment it is a kind of mid-season. Now its the time for planning and preparing for the upcoming winter. But still there is plenty of time for a mountain travel. The air up there is high and crisp, and you are really on your own. It is a great feeling, being there and everything is closed and you don’t see any one else.
The ice-climbing season in coming up so you need to be prepared. So sharpen the crampons and ice axes, check the ice-screws..
When the evening gets dark, use the time for preparation of the Ice Tools..
And the workout. Increasing the endurance at the time. When it comes to strength it will be focus for the calf’s. I got to need strong calf’s for the ice climbing so this ones will be used:

See ya soon..
Time to prepare the rigg. The tools are as sharp as the owner. Keep up the spirit Bergman. Winter is closing up in the north. I can guess you look forward to pull the weel again…
Hope we will have some of the nice and crispy weather on the upcomming trip.
Yes time to sharpen both tools and body and calf(liked the ’jump training’) is good but don’t forget grip strength:-)
