Pray for Nepal - Help after earthquake


Dansk Nepalesisk Selskab - STØT NEPAL 
Jordskælvet i Nepal sidste Lørdag har medført at landet er midt i landet største katastrofe - og har brug for vores fælles hjælp. Mere end 5000 er omkommet og tallet vil kun stige de næste mange dage. Mere end 15 000 er tilskadekommet og vi har kun lige set begyndelsen!! Hvad kommer der til at ske med alle de hjælpeløse børn? Hvad kommer der til at ske med alle hjemløse og alle dem som ikke har rent vand og mad? Hvad kommer der til at ske med dette fantastiske folk og land - hvis vi ikke hjælper?

15 years, with the same pants.

I have just lent some old equipment out for the outdoor shop Friluftsland.dk in Copenhagen. Well, I use other brand now but Friluftsland and I will like to tell that good gear can be used almost forever.
Incredible what it actually been involved in :-) I was so young.... :-)
Drop by Friluftsland Copenhagen and see my old smashed equipment and test the new products from brands like The North Face, Arcteryx and Black Diamond ....

Aconcagua again again...


Back from another climb in Argentina....
This time I had a small but very strong team from Denmark, Norway and Sveden - Super cool group. X-mas was on the Mountain and newyear in Mendoza - what more do you need.
Snow and alot of wind the first week or so...those of you who had been there know that Aconcagua without wind just dosen happen :-) Cool mountain and I have alot of good friends there. Good times! We summit the 28. of december in perfekt weather. I think it was my 9 or 10. time on the summit but the view was by far the best ever... check out some of my photos.

We are all Charlie

 At least 12 people were killed at the Paris headquarters of satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo 

This was an attack on the news media and freedom of expression.

In 2013, 11 climbers were murdered in Nanga Parbat BC. 

R.I.P to all of you

We are all Charlie.

Nanga Parbat Basecamps Established - Winter climbing starts!

With climbing permit of K2 winter expedition denied, focus shifts to Nanga Parbat where three teams are aiming for first winter ascent of the mountain. The climbers have started reaching Basecamp and setting up higher camps. Info from explorerers Web. 
  
K2 Permit Denied

Hopes of winter climbing K2 shattered when Denis Urubko received the final verdict from Chinese authorities on Dec 25th. Fragile security situation and terrorist attacks in Xinxiang province have been quoted as reason for permission denial. Denis proposed that the team would not stay in cities and would travel directly to K2 Basecamp. However, authorities didn’t agree. Email from travel agency read, “I officially inform you that we have to cancel the program and [we] hope to be in cooperation with you some other time. Please inform all your members and inform your cargo company to send back your equipment immediately!” Tjek out Denis Urubko's Face Book for more Info!

Nanga Parbat: Russians on Rupal Side

After last year’s unsuccessful attempt on Schell Route, both Simone Moro and Tomek Mackiewicz concluded that the route length makes it less feasible for winter climbing, where prolonged weather windows are nonexistent. However, four Russians Nickolay Totmjanin, Valery Shamalo, Serguey Kondrashkin and Victor Koval are all set for a light and fast go on the route. Their provisions include three camps (highest one at 7000m), a small tent for bivouacking during summit push and merely 500m rope.
