Here some pics of a nice new place we were at yesterday. The top shows more or less the wall, it's about 15 degrees overhanging and the middle part offers some harder projects.
The middle pictures shows the right side with 2 problems "?" (green) ca.6A+ and "Gubbröra"(red) ca. 6B+; there was a FA done just right of the Green line, but a crucial hold broke.. might be possible still?
The last picture shows (or actually not..) the left hand side with two problems set up "Medvind sit start" (red) ca.7B/+ and a left start variation "Medvind vänster" (green) ca. 6C/+..here you can see more of the harder projects on the middle part as well.

"Working hard"
As Winter is upon us soon the rate of pix on this sight will go down a bit, due to me not having enough material to last through the Winter. But who knows...if it's a mild Winter there might be some more action shots.

Compton Crips - check
Finally did it today.
A bit on the cold side with +4 degrees and a cold breeze but a short warm up and some hangs and it felt ok. A bit of strange foot action in the end..but it's getting up that counts.

So f***ing close!
Ahhh... could do it easy from where the first part starts, finally worked out the first 2 moves and got it to work for me.. then started going for the whole thing...to end up with a total Brain freeze 3 moves from the top! Had more tries but it took all my power!
Next time!

Smaristräsket
Something "new" that we visited a few years back and went back to have a look at again. Right along "Värmdöleden" around Saltarö. Seems that the sit start could be hard involving heel hooks, Compression, Knee Bars and tension just to get up to the stand start from where things seem to get easier.
A beautiful Line it is ... with potential for maybe one or two more hard lines...

Lussekatten
Had to drive a bit further to get out to some dry rock yesterday, had a go at Lussekatten, Dog Rock. Noticed in the end that the GoPro Camera is very light sensitive and doesn't handle the dark to well... even with 3 light sources. Guess I need something with a wider angel to put more general light on the rock. Of course I had to change the angel of the camera as well when I sent the problem...

OT: RHCP
Got a Ticket to see RHCP last night. Just as a review.. the Opening Act, Femi Kuti, was a great warm up for the Crowd and he even got to play with RHCP for 2 songs when they were on.
The sound was so-so at time the guitar playing effects just sounded plain bad really while the light and visual show was really nice. Anthony seems to have worked on his voice more and actually could sind much better and Chad and Flea still know their stuff...while I am not that sure on Josh Klinghoffer their new guitarist. It felt like he was trying... but never stood out from the rest of the band playing way less dynamic and free then John Frusciante specially when improvising where John really excelled.
The crowd was strange as well..even though there were a lot of "oldies" there it seemed that they didn't know any of the older songs at all .. standing nearly still when they played "Higher Ground" but then dancing for "Californication"? Didn't really get that att all.. as they played a couple of older classics...people should have known.
The worst part though was having seats... we decided to shake our booty in the isles but got threatened off by the security staff several times.."Go back to your Seats"!

Älta
Went into the forest with my daughter to look at some maybe new potential
To the right: A bit too high maybe but maybe 2 shorter lines there
Middle part: has 2 lines to the left both of which felt hard with the few goes I had
Further left: slot for just 2 hands, broke off next hold..now rather far up and another to the right, also harder.
Might be more around, but would need to go out without the gear and Zoe to get a better look around.

Bare with me
It's been a while with posts here.. but due to moving House it has been rather quiet around here. Haven't taken a lot of new shots either but hope to get one or 2 out on the weekend.
