Ice Climbing - Tiramisu, Norway

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 00:29:01 -0700

On a back-country ski trip, Tom spotted a vertical ice line some kilometers away. A forthnight after Tom, Steinar and I went on an expedition to make our first frist-ascent on vertical ice ever. It was icy, rainy and scared the sh*t out of number one, while camera man Steinar and belay monkey Tom almost froze to death... The line is now called Tiramisu (Ital. "pull me up") named after the dessert we had when planning the trip. [Camera: Steinar/Matz, Climbing: Matz/Steinar, Supporting Actor: Tom]

First Ski Descent of Dhaulagiri

Tue, 27 May 2008 18:58:02 -0700

this awesome ten minute long video is of the first ski descent of Dhaulagiri. The video opens with some cool shots of life in Nepal, with a mix of great scenery and some video of the wonderful people that live there, but soon it shifts gears to the mountain and the action there.

Dhaula is the 7th tallest mountain in the world, and is located in the north central region of Nepal. It stands 8167m in height (26,795 feet). The video shows the challenges of the climb, along with plenty of snow. But reaching the top is just the beginning, as the descent by skis is quite a site as well.

Ice World Cup 2000 - Will Gadd

Mon, 31 Jul 2006 11:42:07 -0700

Interview with Will Gadd, winner of the Ice Boulder Cortina, third leg of the Ice World Cup 2000

Apart from having made a name for yourself climbing hard routes on ice, you were also Canadian National Champion for sports climbing for a number of years. Does having this competition experience help you for these events?
Well, I think the thing that helps me most for these competitions is paragliding competitions.

Why is that?

Because the rules in paragliding competitions are very open to interpretation and so the competitions are sometimes difficult to understand. You see, in my opnion the rules for these IWC competitions are completely nuts. They are the craziest competitions I have ever competed in.
