Becoming a mountaineerer, a wise mans word and first Via Ferrata for the season..

Yesterday morning, I woke up early. The gear was already packed and the car filled up with fuel. Just after six I was on the road hiding for Skuleberget and Via Ferrata. Halfway I stopped for a coffee brake. That coffee tasted as paradise. I was feeling free and with a sense of expectation. When I arrive, Tero and Latte the guys at Skulebergets Via Ferrata welcomed me as usual. Real great buddies.

So this time I got the opportunity for two routes, the yellow and the red one.

This morning it was the reflection day. I was thinking of yesterday over a nice cup of coffee. And I think it feels good becoming a mountaineerer. The thing is that you always can develop some skill. If you just a cliff climber, you can become very good in that. But as a mountaineerer just be good in all areas. And there is so much areas to discover. You can always get better knowledge of a stove, or get stronger in the arms or whatever. You will never get all knowledge and you must always strive for developing, that’s nice:-)

Ulf Bergman glad, becoming a mountaineerer at Skulebergets Via Ferrata…

And now to John Muir’s quote:  The mountains are calling and I must go. This one is not complete this word are often forgotten: The mountains are calling and I must go & I will work on while I can, studying while I can. With this wisdom I got a good compass:-)

Yea, and the training. well a hard week with totally exhausted legs from Friday at the Via Ferrata = a struggle:-) But still a great workout week.

See ya soon..

  1. Great Ulf. I meet you at the Via ferrata in Funäsdalen this summer. Its just an hour and half from our mountain cabin. Bring your gear and best stories.
    For a good knife for your harness, I can recomend the TOOL from Brusletto.no

  2. Hmmm you went without us, probably better for you so you can go on your own slow pace;-)
    A question, when you write for instance 960 min of training does that include warming up and so on?
