Zillertal Sessions
The rain has stopped for some days again and we took our chance to find some dry blocs in our lovely home spot, the Zillertal. Lucky we were, stuff was dry and allthough conditions were moist and warm our crew (Katha, James, Ben, Ingo, Peter and I) had an amazing weekend outside, climbing new stuff and repeating old classics... Some pics in the galleries!
Val Daone
We spent some time in Val Daone recently, amazing blocs in a beautiful setting! Check out the galleries for some photos. Some more on chalkjunkie (FRESH Gallery).

Hi everybody, just wanted to say that there is a new gallery on my blog, one showing some of the random shots I have lying arround on my computer wich I thought would be cool and interesting to share! Also there is some more new pics in some of the other galleries so have a look if you want.
On another note, I just got my new camera the other day and I am totally psyched to go out and shoot. Wich I soon will have more time for again (along with climbing outside)! And, as the sweet toy also films on HD, we hopefully will have some crispy little flics in our bags in the near future, so stay tuned and above all: enjoy ya climbing!
Cheers, Emi

So long...
...since the last post... sorry for that but things just have been really busy, not in climbing outdoors though unfortunatly! Since the semester is coming to an end things at Uni are spicing up really hard, lots of stuff to do, papers to write, presentations, and all this kinda stuff... And to top it all, there was a period of straigth rain in Austria for the last four weeks! So well, all there was left to do, in lack of spare time and because of the weather, was to go to the gym and train. It was fun but I truely miss the rock and all those cool sessions outside and simply can't wait for summer and more time for climbing! Anyways, enough of the whining, I found this video on my computer that I once made after the rocklands trip last summer and somehow we never put it online somewhere, so here it is! It's the footage of one of my best climbing days ever... Psyched for the rocks!! - Emi -

Swizzy update...
We've once more been down in Ticino last week, originally planed to stay for a week at least but unfortunatly the weather wasn't nice to us (as mostly this winter...) and after four days we just couldn't stand the rain and even snowfall(!) anymore...
Anyways we had a good start with a sunny day in Chironico, Juri and Mario and Me and lots of cool Boulders in the 101 sector.
First stop was a roof called "Tricky", a really nice and weird 8A were you have to do some crazy double toehooking to solve the puzzle and climb out to the lip... Juri quickly found out the solution (thx!!) and so we soon all succeeded. Next we moved over to test our powerendurance skills on "The Arete with the Pocket", a sustained 8A with about 20 moves that each for itself aren't really hard but add up on the redpoint and create some nice spice in your forearms! Got my first proper pump this year... but luckily made it to the top though :) After a long long rest the pump finally dissappeared and I felt ready to go and try "Keinfisch Kleinfisch" again, a short Dave Graham 8B just a minute down the hill. It involves some nice compression climbing with a brutal kneebar into a kinda tricky mantle and a slab to top it out. I allready checked it out last time and this time got some nice beta-tips from my mate Martin who just did it a couple of days before... so allthough kinda sour allready, with the solution more technically than hard pulling, I somehow managed to sneak through the problem, didn't punt on the mantle, vibrated up the sandy slab and had it in my bag, end of a nice day!!
Below is a photo of Flo bouldering in "Atlantis" on the last rain free day before we gave up and bailed... At least the snow was good back at home :) some more shots in the bouldering gallery.
Happy easter everyone!
