1st day climbing In Sweden

[mistahbenn]

So I made it to Stockholm, first days climbing today for large English run firm, very efficient company, lots of staff, all very friendly, deadwooding oaks, then felled some willows, cut and stack in the snow.

 

All in all great, recommend it to any climber with no ties. Now to the bar for another ....

Cheers guys, well, I did a week trial, got on well, varied work, lots of climbing and pruning, some dismantling, nice scenery. Snowed a foot thus/fri, and there was no stopping. Frozen rope, iced up carabiners and hitch, made it 10 time harder... but got thru!

 

So Mike Jackson (tradvard) has offered me the job, will be staying for the foreseeable future, lots of work, and good money, so Im stopping.

 

Great setup, lots of good gear (including an Avant), and good lads to boot.
