New Low
Nu ett par dagar efter tävlingen har jag nästan blivit av med feberattacken som kom som ett resultat av tävlingen och börjar känna mig redo att träna igen. Puh...
En sak lärde jag mig betydelsen av i Marocco i alla fall:
A muerte!!!

Karlskrona, med tydliga småländska ingredienser på besök
Look at all the lovely people.......
The crowds were out today on the stones. I counted nine climbers working "Monolith" one after the other.We nearly needed one of those machines dispensing numbered tickets. Karlskrona KK had a club trip today.This bunch of yahoos seemed to be led by none other than Mr.Zigge himself together with Patrik (THE LINE) Lind. The day started quite humid and stick wasn't great but in the afternoon came a nice breeze which improved condtions a bit. It still felt like the season for hard ascents is drawing to a close.Ola Olsson brushed up and sent a lovely little line just left of "Lååångsamt, Lååångsamt" hard 7-ish. Not sure what he has name it but it goes at a pleasant 5 which is probably worth doing at least once ;)
Zigge amazed the crowds with his aerial antics, as he flew off the last move on "Monolith" , chosing to dyno instead of a dead-point (brave man!). Sorry no photos but Ola Olsson has not sent them to me yet . No waffles for him next week-end, thats for sure ;) I followed the "Local code" and did "Brick'ard" for the second time proving that yeaterday was not a fluke, Yipppeee!!!!
LOCAL CODE:
Rule 1-Locals must climb a problem twice before you can claim to have done it.
Rule 2- Locals should avoid tire-spinning while entering and exiting parking area
Rule 3-Locals should not participate in "fisting" each-other after a send.
They should instead congratulate the victorious by gentle face-licking
Rule 4- When necessary, ignore all rules except Rule 2
Rule 5- There is no "local code" (ya know, like they say in Fight Club .

What a load of waffle!

Another good day was had by many, on the stones in Kjuge today. The day started bright with blue skies and warm temps(too warm).I started with "Brick'ard"(7a+) as i got close last week but tiredness got the better of me. Today i returned with fresh skin and winning beta (thanks John!) only to send it on my second try of the day, woo hoo!!!!
As the sun continued to rise my energy to climb seemed to go down. I thought it was going to be one of those "lost" days when i just sit on my pad, listen to the birds, try and finds snakes and eat ice-cream and waffles at the "Cafe Kullastugan". I did sit and watch some squirrels for a while but then found a little motivation to climb again. Had a great time climbing on my own on "Bob", "Den långa färden"L , "Resenären" L .I then met up with a gang from Lund on "Rocka hula"6a+ as well as a friendly bunch of Danes at "Matador". I got some good beta from one of the "Great Danes" for "Sprickan sittstart"6b+ .Its a John Burgess creation and is a pretty fun addition to the classic stand-start. After that i had decided to go home again and cut the grass but met "the usual suspects" from Helsingborg as well as a friend (Per) from Sundsvall (?) just as they all finished off their waffles and coffee. From there we climbed a little at Bäverblocket and then down to "Ken titan"7a as Alex reckoned he had killer beta for me. This problem has been my Nemesis for a long time now and i'm glad to say that Alex had the beta i needed.Finally!!!!!!!!!! Congratulatins to Malin (Helsingborg) who has sent "Mr Magnet"6b . Good Job! ;) It's late now and i'm tired... Good night !

Apparently we're back !..... well, me anyway . Kalle is back (or so he says...;)) but is actually off to Vastervik on this beautiful april week-end when smhi predict fine bright weather to climb plastic. He will be in good company as i've heard that Oscar Renstam is going to the boulder-cup also. This means that any of you out there that is feeling strong and wanting to make a name. This is the week-end to do it as all the hard men are climbing inside this week-end.I'll be out for more bare-foot action and hopefully do "brickhard" as i was making good progress last week. I think i'll wear my shoes for that one though ;) Adnan from Helsingborg has done "Skam den som ger sig" (6b) -G6 A1 FBA(first bare-foot ascent). I wonder who will get the first Kjuge foot-flapper....... ;) It's only a matter of time.
