Extended easter

5 friends of mine and I went down to Fontainebleau for the easter holidays. Two weeks of bouldering, cheap wine and baguettes with the occasional pain au chocolate as a treat for sending a new personal best. We suggested one of the hookers along the road as a treat too, but Magnhild wasn't keen on it. We had great weather every day and I got to see 3 or 4 new areas. Also managed to send a few 7a's with a favourite called La Grande Marche in Canche aux Merciers. We managed to deliver the rental car without any mayor damages, get to the airport in time and now I am on the train back home to see my family for a few days.

Here are some pictures from the trip

Skiing

I havent been blogging much about skiing lately, so here's an update on that front. Lots of things going on at the time too. Work, school and traveling. I did not know they had internet on flights. Not much else to do on them, so blogging from the flight to paris now.

Been eager on skiing a bit steeper and trying out chuts latley. I had one nice trip with Jørgen Tiltnes and Andreas Krøn a couple weeks ago. We tried a line behind frudalshesten in sogndalsdalen. A  quite cool line! A pretty hard crust made it a bit harder to ski properly though. Last week Asger and I went out to try the eastface above salen. There is a pretty cool chutes there too. Unfourtunatly the sun did not want to shine that particular day, which resulted to crampons and hard crust/ice conditions on the way down. Good edge testing conditions. I had to be down at school and do math by 12. So.. Would have been nicer later in the day!

Hurrungane after easter shold be good skiing!
