Climbing and sailing in the Azores
Hi all friends, I haven’t written a blogpost for a long time. I try to stay with my adventures and therefore 2020 perhaps didn’t create too much of a buzz. My adventures required a new way of thinknig and planning due to this strange world….
Why do you climb high mountains?
Last week someone in the gym asked me “are you the mountain man?”. Haha, I didnt know that was my name…but, ofcourse, I was a bit flattered from the remark. The next question was “and why do you climb high mountains, must be dangerous?” My…
Summiting Ama Dablam a dream
Sir Edmund Hillary said ”It is not the mountain we concuer, but ourselves”. This is very true in terms of my experience at Ama Dablam. Climbing one of the most beautiful mountains in the world showed out to be a larger challenge than I expected….
Life at Ama Dablam
This is one of my best experiences from base camp life I’ve had so fare. We trekked from Pangboche up to base camp in perfect weather conditions. The camp pops up very fast in front of you at an altitude of 4576m and it’s like…
Trekking into Rivendell valley
We have been busy moving upwards in the mountains the last days. Lots has happened and we are having a marvelous time together in our team. So, this will be a long blogpost…. When we left Kathmandu during night I became so glad to see…
I love Kathmandu but long for the mountains

Adventure mood is on!
Leaving home is to me somewhat like pulling up a heavy anchor from a boat leaving harbor. A little while after takeoff I realized that speed has been crazy for some time, time to change. It’s like hanging off a heavy coat that you didn’t…
Ama Dablam comes up in my eyes and seduces
Some years ago I trekked through the Khumbu area in Nepal. During this wonderful expedition I passed by a seductively beautiful mountain named Ama Dablam, 6.800m. There was something special with this mountain and after seeing it from different angels it was etched into my memory….

Leaving Elbrus, I’ll be back!
Today our expedition team left Elbrus High Camp. I was up early in the morning not being able to sleep. The turnout of this expedition has kept me occupied the last day. What could have been done in a different way, was it a good…
Sunset at High Camp
After one combined acclimatization and luggage move to High Camp we made the final and second move today. I now have 22kg of equipment in High Camp and try not to use porters. During four hours we gained 1160m and ended up at 3740m in…
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…
