Summer of 2008
I was going through my old hard drive when I came across these old photos which were taken back in the summer of 2008, in Sweden. Decided to give them a bit of a tune up and post them here. All photos taken using my old Nikon D80 and the stock 18 -135mm lense
Black Diamond Climbing Equipment
Upon entering the climbing gym for the first time I had no idea that the sport would grow on me so quickly, it has somehow become a regular activity in my life. Initially I was introduced to climbing through a good friend who has been climbing for a couple of years now and had been pushing me to come and try it out, as I had previously tried bouldering many years ago, I was not entirely new to the idea of rock climbing.

Taking the road up is no challenge so the obvious route to the top is to hike through the jungle which I would personally consider very different compared to other hikes I have been to.
