Alpina

"Since moving here I have begun combine climbing with Alpine skiing and skiing"

"In winter I climb both ice and alpine. There is nice ice climbing just a couple of miles from Luleå, towards Älvsbyn. If you continue on towards Sarek or Kebnekaise, for example, there are very many good spots for climbing. Since moving to Luleå I have begun to combine my climbing with alpine hiking tours and skiing. We are a group of friends that usually goes up to both the mountains of Kiruna and the mountains of northern Norway. There we live in a tent and climb and hike the mountains around. "
