Tekniskt och balansigt

1 session with perfect beta from Antoine. We climbed in a cloud of mosquitos it was insane. Worth doing if that's the only one you have left there ^_^; Possibly 7b+

I didn't find it that nice tbh. Used the ramp for the feet.

Awesome route. Bring kneepad ;)

3 försök. Gosedjuret betan!

Must do!

Had to fight on the vertical part

Kul :) Ta med clip-stick för förta klippet!

Must do at Flaten. Bring kneepad!

Typisk Stockholm chipping, men kula flytt! Bara 1a slingan förklippt, och utan "launchpad”.

Amazing route on unique rock. Great top-out.

2 dagar. Kattresan var roligare (och lite hårdare) tycker jag.

Puls is one of my best climbing memories. Awesome climbing IMO.

4th go

My toughest battle to date, took me 5 days at least. Found it really hard for the grade and on the send every move went perfect - one of those rare moments of flow. If it were graded 7c+ I wouldn’t have flinched.

2 sessions

3rd or 4th go

I really loved climbing this route. So good :)

4th go

If you have already done Utan Tvekan, then this one isn't really interesting. I climbed it because it was a good challenge for me.

Second go

Idag var det min tur :)

Jag behövde 2 dagar och tycker att den är en solid 7b. Leden är mest ett 6C+ boulder problem.

Second go. Climbed on the right side of the 3rd quickdraw.

4 days

Siddharta's little brother. And he's pretty awesome!

2 sessions. I did a few routes graded 7b+ that felt harder than Megadans.

Glad I was able to finish it before the end of the season

Hard

Punted the onsight - went down next try.

The secret is to skip the clip before the crux move. I had a harder time sending Don't Be Dead.

Don't forget your chalk bag :)

3 sessions (2 of them last year)

My nemesis, that I had been trying for 2 years! Sent first try that day right after completing Siddharta :)

Climbed it sit-start to add 2 more moves to the experience! It took me at least 15 tries to arrive at the upper crux fresh enough for the lunge.

Hard: three sessions.

Soft: three tries.

The upper slab was pretty scary, especially when you send while putting the quickdraws, like I did.

The start is confusing: left or right?

One of my favourite routes at Örnberget :)

Easily 6c IMO.

My style I think, explaining why I didn't find it so hard.

Sent last summer's project first go. I can feel the new finger strength! :)

Hard 7a or soft 7a+. Long moves on good holds up to the roof, which is a bit tricky to pass. I used a heel hook there, always cool :)

Nacka Kvarn requires precise footwork and beta, I really like this crag. I had tried Freaky Deaky Direct several sessions, and I knew everything had to be perfect for me to send it: from the length of the different quickdraws, to the beta and rythm of climbing.

Did the right moves all the way up the 26 meters. This route is the best I've climbed in the 6c/6c+ range.

Boulder problem -> no-hands rest -> boulder problem -> no-hands rest -> easy boulder prolem. The second boulder problem involves an amazing dyno Chris Sharma style :) When I discovered the route and put the quickdraws up, it felt really really hard, so it was a real surprise to send it second go.

A bit stressful mentally since towards the end of the session I fell twice in a row at the very first moves.

Did the direct start (doesn't make it harder)

My first 6c+ flash :)

3rd go. Nice compression move leading to the roof :) Found it easy once I climbed it with the proper beta.

This route is basically a tricky boulder problem 3m off the ground, then the rest is a lot easier. Not the most rewarding route at Örnberget, since the crux is so early, but was a good challenge for me: my first 7a+ :)

This route is better than it looks. Took me 3 sessions before finding how to climb it well.

The first half is super fun :)

Great overhang climbing on good holds. Heel hook! Could probably have flashed it, but the onsight was too hard for me

What was supposed to be the warmup flash turned out to be harder than Armani...

This route is graded 7a in the guide book, but it's definitely easier than that. When you know how to pass the roof that is ;) It's basically a hard route to onsight, but knowing the beta makes it way easier. Cool moves!

Thanks to David's very good beta I surprisingly flashed the route. Nice move to reach for the right sidecling at the top!

It took me quite a while to find the right beta in the middle, at the small roof. Quite uninteresting route.

On the send like on the other tries, I climbed the first part pretty badly and was saved by the rest. Did a good job on the last part though.

I love this route. You need to climb it fast and efficiently to have enough strength remaining for the dyno and the next move.

Varied climbing, and looks nice

Starts with a tricky boulder move and ends with a pumpy roof! 4th go, just had to be patient and rest in the middle of the route.

4th go. Should have spent more time working the crux move, the rest is easy.

Sent on the second go, just after making the scariest fall ever just before putting the 2nd quickdraw!

3rd go, easy when you pass the crux.

One move to a right sidecling reminded me of Chris Sharma in one of his movies ;)

Easy to read

My first 7a, felt really proud! Took me 7 tries over 3 sessions to send it.

That day I unlocked my outdoor potential, and realized I could climb the same grades as at the gym. Just a mental barrier to pass!
