Again in Romania. Sorry to say but it really is the last place you want to visit. In some ways even worse then the trip we had to China a couple months ago. But we’re here. The train ride was not as epic as last years’ and we arrived safely in Busteni without having to …

Champagny en Vanoise

Finally, after a whole year of horrible ice (Kandersteg, Iceland…) we wanted to climb something proper. We heard Cogne in Italy was the only place this year that had some ice. All other areas were far too dry or warm. So, we skip the comp in Rabenstein (which would be too far anyway) and just …
