Sweden's West Coast: A Wedding and Extracurricular Climbing

Last weekend we went to a family wedding on the west coast of Sweden, in Stenungsund. The wedding ceremony took place on Saturday afternoon, so we managed a morning sport climbing session on Saturday and a brief bouldering tour on Sunday.

Sport climbing near Stengungsund. Very fun, though short, schist cliff.

So solid, bro'. So solid.

Missingmyr, Norway: Climbing + Swimming

On Saturday we loaded up the car for a 1.5-day trip to Missingmyr, Norway for some sport climbing. Though we only had 30 hours, we still fit in two nearly full days of climbing, some Norwegian Yatzee, and a dip in the ocean -thanks to the long Scandinavian summer daylight hours.

Peace Out, Ten Sleep!

My time in Ten Sleep couldn't have been better this summer! The people and climbing made this month of June one of my best in years!

Here is one last batch of photos from the trip.
