Mount Elbrus finally in my eyes
Marcus, Sebastian and myself decided to climb Elbrus together. Its the third expedition together after Aconcagua and Rolwaling in Nepal. After some time you get to understand how we function together and the groupdynamics evolve to it’s best shape. Many people became surprised when I…
Seven summits no.4 approaching
Hello again all friends! Last month I celebrated my summit at Everest on the 16th of May 2018. The celebration was somewhat special since I spent my time in Florence in Italy. I was happy to find a great gym in the middle of the…
Takeoff from Everest
Hi Friends! This is my last blogpost from the Mt Everest expedition 2018. In some way I dont want to end this expedition yet because I have so many thoughts and great memories surrounding the expedition. I will continue to carry on with these for…
Summit Mount Everest
Already one week before the summit day we had decided to summit on the 16th of May and skip Camp2 and have a very pushy approach. We didn’t want to communicate this until it was in action which surprised some other teams. We left North…
Back to Base Camp
The weather pushed us back from North Col again after our short trekk above the ridge in the morning. We have strong wind and snowfall in combination all over Everest. The clouds and snow appear normally in the late afternoon. The ropes haven’t even been…
Advanced Base Camp
The climb from Intermediate Camp (IC) to Advanced Camp (ABC) was a tough climb from 5735m to 6400m. However, it felt better compared to last year. It’s a beautiful six hour climb through a glacier that is a merge from two other glaciers. I had…
Interim Camp
Hi all friends! It’s not easy keeping satellite technology working in this environment. I had a power supply problem for six days – but the blog posts have been written and the camera is hot! So, I will publish three posts, one per day in…
Arrival to Everst Base Camp
In Xigatse we started to feel that we are on the way to Everest. Now and then we could see the international teams on the road. We met with a 14-climber team from the UK with the goal to climb North Col this year. A…
Mt Everest summit expedition in spring 2018
Preparing for this has taken me a couple of years and now is the right time to summit and I am ready – I am now assigned to the Mt Everest Peak Expedition 2018. The intention is to climb with my friend Chhiring Dorje Sherpa from the…
The last track out of Aconcagua Provincial Park
Plaza de Mulas, 4.300m, was the last and largest camp to leave in the morning. It’s the largest camp around Aconcagua. My feeling was that some type of hippi-culture was present with it’s consequences in this camp. The last twenty km track towards Horcones at 2.950m went…
From cold to warm to Aconcagua
The last days where really so stressful with so much work and worry regarding health. I have prepared a lot and one part of this was eating great. But, I experienced that eating 4-5 kg of grapefruits every week for the last 2 months can…
Aconcagua approaching
I have been climbing in Nepal and Norway the last three years and thought one more 7000m mountain in the 7 summits series would be great before summiting Mt Everest in spring. I am looking for more high altitude experience and Aconcagua is it! Aconcagua, with its 6,961m, is the…
