Deep breath
Ok. And then I took a deep breath and thought. Well, let’s try again. Let’s try to write again. Because I like to share my adventures, experiences, thoughts. Ok.

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 …

We missed the first two competitions; the first which was …

Dry Ice tools
I am an iceclimber. Or more just climber. I climb everything. Buildings and industrial structures for work, bouldering for strength and social fun, routes because I love that, Alpine because I sometimes like to suffer and mixed because I love the technical awkward leverages you do with those sharp tool thingies.
