Nacka kvarn

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Coach 5b (warm-up), Brown sugar 6b+ (redpoint, it took way too many tries to figure out the straight-up sequence), Ignition 6c+ (I was the closest so far to sending this route. I also took a nice 5-6 meters fall when I lost my balance at the last clip), Nacka kvarn 6c (We tried this route on toprope and it was rather easy, but the sun had arrived at the crag and we were melting away so gave up for the day)

Coraline

We watched Coraline last weekend, and I loved it!

It’s beautifully done and skillfully directed which makes you get drawn into the world and sit like hypnotized before the screen. In the end it feels like it’s too short and you get a feeling of wanting more.

I started dreaming of a computer game done as beautiful and fantastic as the movie in which I could be the main character and go around exploring this marvelous world.

“Nyheten om Michael Jacksons död ses som en milstolpe och en triumf för de nya medierna över ‘gammelmedierna’. Kändissajten TMZ var först ut med nyheten som miljoner människor snabbt fick vetskap om via nätet.”

I feel sorry for everyone in the US who have to use AT&T.

Le pilier 5b-5a (onsight, did the two pitches as one long pitch), Abstiens-toi de glisser 6c+ (the onsight attempt went fine up to the crux getting past the last bolt. The minature crimps were way too small for my big fat fingers! I never figured out a working sequence past that problem), St Ethique 6a (the hardest 6a I have ever tried, naturally I only got 2/3s up before I had to bail. Too scary and too hard).

Kanske inte så oväntat men ändå lite av en besvikelse.

Les Guêpes 5a (onsight, supposed to be two pitches according to the guide but I couldn’t find the continuation), Cima Quest 6c/7a (chickened out after huge runout to third bolt with delicate climbing), Le Dièdre 5a-5a (onsight, two pitches of 5a climbing shouldn’t be that hard, but this turned into a ordeal getting up the polished dieder), CQrizt 6a (onsight, but only did the first pitch of two), Voyage de noces 6b (only did the first 6b-graded pitch where I went wrong with the left hand on the onsight attempt and was too tired to try again).

L’incal feutré 5c/6a (onsight), Vipere lubrique 5c (onsight), Psycho killer (unknown grade, and I hade to pull in an express to get past the crux), Tamagotchi 6a+ (second go, on the onsight attempt I tried to use a sharp pocket that made me loose the feeling of a finger tip for five minutes. Scary!), Distribution de topinambours 5c+ (onsight).
