We are doing two mini-expeditions here and we just came back from the first one where we climbed Cerro El Plomo via Iver glacier. Cerro El Plomo is the highest…

Crazy deal from Outdoor Active to professional guides
Since the death of FATMAP (RIP) I´ve been trying out different apps for navigation in my job as a guide. One I´ve tried the most is Outdoor Active because I was told as an International Mountain Leader we would get a pro deal for free with this app. I´ve used it for a few months…

Bestiga Kebnekaise – saker jag sett i sommar
Jag har precis genomfört min tredje expedition till Kebnekaise för i år och här är några saker jag tänker på som jag sett i sommar: Det är tungt att bära sin egen packning och försöka göra toppen dagen efter. En vilodag emellan gör livet mycket härligare! 30-40% av alla som gör Västra Leden vänder. I…
