Goodbye Montana; Hello Sweden, Turkey

Tomorrow I'll take three planes to Stockholm, Sweden. Will spend a few days there, and then head right to the Antalya region of Turkey to climb and stay at the climber hostel/ camp, JoSiTo for seven weeks. The climbing there looks amazing...

After that, it's back to Sweden for November/ early December.

More soon!
