I'm back in Spain, once again. Everything here is as it' supposed to be -climbing in the sun. The last month I've spent home in Gothenburg. I can't complain though, it's been a really nice time. This winter has been really mild so on the westcoat wev'e had some brilliant climbing conditions.

Island Rock. The bouldering on the Hönö island actually looks better than it climbs. Here Björn "Böna" Strömberg and Mad-Max Boholm actually are climbing something worth climbing. Ok, it's not all that bad but I guess it's all a matter of taste.

Allthough the weather was pretty good I was mostly indoors training. The vertical and bouldery outdoor Gothemburg style wont make you fit for the long and steep spanish fiesta.

"Trärummet" at the climbinggbym 5 minutes from my house. Appart from some notsogood ropeclimbing and some ok bouldering this place has a really badass woodroom: really good campusboard, 3 systemwalls, wooden bachar ladder etc. Good for for training that is.

As we normally don't get any real snow down in the south, you'll have to move north to experience some true winter. And so we did. If youre looking for skiing, Åre is a good place to pick.

Mad-Max Boholm with Åre as backdrop doing a nybörjardrop or should we call it nybörjar 7b? (sorry to all of you nongothenburgish speakers).


And as usuall I had to go to Stockholm for some sponsormeetings, gigs but most of all to see my musicteacher m'allem Christer Bothén. What would I have done without this man's knowledge? Here practicing the dosso n'goni aka the hunters harp from Mali.

In the other end of the music spectrum. The fancy clubgigs doing the percussion bag.

I also went to Copenhagen, spent some quality time with my family and friends, tried tae-kwon-do for the first time, went swimming, biking and running a lot. But officially the main reason I went home was still my photoexebition. 16 black and white portraits from all over the world. You can really make a lot of things of youre time if you are psyched. Now its gonna be 100% climbing for a while again though (and hopefully some music, dancing, shooting...)
