Ice climbing again..

During the weekend we went to Alvdalen och Trangslet again. The ice has grown and it even was better this time. With a start of -18 degrees it was a crisp morning..

You must focus on the technique while doing the ice climb. The more efficient you are, the better you will climb. Use the naturally chubby-holes, and already used ice axe placements..

When it comes to the workout, the variation is very important. Today there was a boxing session. With just four participants I can tell Í was fully exhausted after the workout..

The workout of the day, boxercise..

A inspirational motivational video..

 

And a interesting pod about the Jamtlandsfjallen..

When it comes to crampons, we sometimes need more simple ones for ascending hiking peaks. This one can then be a solution..

See ya soon(Sunday as usual:-)

  2. A lot of good stuff this time Uffe. The song was great, added it!
    You look like 4 bad asses;-) in those black clothes (I know a guy that would really blend in with all that black;-) )
    It’s fantastic how good quality you get when filming with iPhone 7 and above.
    The helmchen fall will never be anything for us, I think:-) 🙂
