About how rich you can feel and loose it all in just a couple hours. Golfje is one of the most precious things I own. I just made a last ride. Windows fully open, listening to the sound of the small 1.6 Diesel engine. One-on-twentyfive and when I’d go slow one-on-twentyeight. More efficient then most …

Tegen de stroom in
Dag 1. Nog druppend van de regen lig ik te weken in bad. Ogen dicht, moe van de dag. Het was de eerste dag, nog een makkelijke dag. Maar 160km gefietst. 26,7km per uur gemiddeld. Best oke voor de tweede keer op m’n nieuwe fiets. Bijna een jaar geleden raakte ik m’n geliefde fiets kwijt. …

I maybe could be more tactical about how I expose my opinion to my audience [the internet]. But it’s not going to change my opinion. So, …

Every weekend I try to make most of the free time I have. This saturday I had the chance to go for an easy ski-tour. Fantastic! It was my first time to just go ski-touring for the ski-touring instead of using it as a tool to get to an ice climb. I first was afraid …

Modding iceclimbing shoes
The annoying thing of fruitboots is that most come standard with a specific crampon. The Boreal’s with Black Diamond, the Asolo with Petzl, the La Sportiva with Grivel… So if you want to have Petzl crampons on Boreal boots (or any other combi) this is what you can do: 1. Get a couple spacer rings …

ISPO Munich 2014 – The climbing gear
ISPO 2014 Not being sponsored by a climbing hardware company gives an awkward advantage when visiting the ISPO. This year I was allowed to take a look at the current market with a very open mind. I even heard myself saying “I think I’d like to use that”. To a brand-manager of a brand that …
