• Altitude is a bitch, especially when you’re Dutch

    There I am again, back in ‘the low lands’. After a big weekend in the real mountains (Chamonix). I was fed up by being here, no climbing, no ice, no mountains. Just work. I needed to go out and I was reaaaally missing Dennis. He’s doing is traineeship at Petzl right now and is living …

  • Twin Towers meltdown

    The last day of our iceclimbing trip this Winter. It was warm outside plus 5 or maybe more. And we were tired. The last day, so we MUST climb. But what. Too warm for Kiental, too warm for any proper ice and the thing we really wanted to do was not in condition. Ueschinen then. …

  • Swiss style

    Just one more day left of our immense Winter trip. 2 months of non-stop Winter climbing all around. We traveled through 8 different countries, climbed 4 Worldcups and quite a proper bit of ice and mixed. Although it was not always good, satisfactory and fair we still had a good time. Today we wanted to …

  • Cold

    Cold as in having a cold. After almost 2 months of climbing we finally got one. Thanks to Romania and the travelling we guess. (With the snow in Romania we got a huge delay: first we waited in the plane in Bucharest for 3 hours, then we stood in a que for 4 hours, then …

No pictures here this time and you might be wondering where are all …

  • Busteni 2012

    I just woke up with a nice movie: STS on the Ben. With loads of real climbing, snow and horrible Winter conditions: lovely. Watching the climbers I wished it was me being filled with spindrift snow and getting soaked with water and sweat that after a while would freeze again… In stead I’m in Busteni, …

  • Little Russia in Romania

    Just back in our shared room. It was busy last night with 6 others grinding their iceaxes when we tried to sleep and the couple sleeping above us moving the bed in a good rythm (don’t want to know what that meant). In the middle of the night I woke because of some alarm/phone. I …

  • Busteni 2012

    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: worldcup climbing with -30 C

    After the ‘real-ice-sessions’ in Cogne it was time for the Worldcup again. This time it was Champagny-en-Vanoise. For the first time in 10 years a Worldcup on French soil/ice again. We enjoyed the lovely -25C on the first day when we arrived and got warned that it would get worse/better in the next days with …
