These days in Holland we have an annual event called ‘wandelvierdaagse’. Kids walk four evenings a little walk. On the end of the week they get a medal. My grandmother is doing her special elderly-walk this week. Three days, one hour per day. Me and my mum pushed her wheelchair. Finally something good for the …

Got a whole set of cams now. Finally! Thanks to my friend Richard, I’m now the owner of a big vase with flowers ;) (Not all on the picture are mine though, some are Dennis’ cams) I also made a funny chart with a size/weight comparison. I’ll probably fill in more, when I have more …

Yes! I’m still sponsored by Boreal, it just all went so slow that I wasn’t sure anymore if Boreal was still interested in what I do and what I climb. But, it all changed again and I got new shoes! First: the IceMaster, renewed and even lighter then the pervious version. They’re slightly higher and …

…And yes again competition climbing today. This time bouldering. Really fun relaxed atmosphere in THEA, Amsterdam (Tussen Hemel en Aarde=Between Heaven and Earth, as the gym is in a church) Climbing with other good climbers who respect each other and are interested in what others climb. Such a good support to be around these people. …

Yesterday (and officially today as well) I competed in the Dutch Student Championships Lead climbing (short: NSK Sportklimmen) And gosh, suddenly I was a little insecure girl, not knowing if I could climb on these walls and if I’d reach a proper place in the ranking. I got completely influenced by arrogant girls who were …

Yes, and again we went to Ettringen. Just for one day. Way too warm to climb and not the focus to climb the things I wanted to climb :( Sometimes I just have a day that things don’t work the way I want them to work. Then I get pumped after 3 moves,don’t have the …

In Iceland you have just two seasons: Summer and Winter. The in-between-version doesn’t exist. Understandable. It’s often just cold there: t-shirt weather is nice, but far not as nice as t-shirt weather in the Netherlands. So, I’m enjoying the sun!

Ettringen last 2 days. It was great: rain, cold, humid, but fun! And I found myself two such cool things to do! Couldn’t climb it today, but I’ll definitely go back and get all my strength and power together to climb it! Route 1: Diablo (1e Grotte, Modor) 7c on pure power. Bolted, long moves …

After a week of rain in Freyr, I was hoping to have better weather this week. But cycling today in wind and rain wasn’t much fun today. I even thought of cycling inside (they call it ‘fitness’). (The picture is no joke, it really was the forecast for today…)
