Always when I read a book of him I got inspired and want to up to the mountains. He was a real pioneer in Swedish alpinism. As the first of ascending the kebnekaise north peak in winter ha had made his name in the history books. His tour to Helags in jacket is indescribable. He was owning a mountain station, and he had a habit to go skiing without clothes. Only wearing a tie, he went skiing in the sun in the winter spring. One time he was discovered, with a result of one broken ski and one broken stick. The four women was just screaming, seeing a naked man in the ski-track:-) He also elected to the Swedish mountain men’s club in 1925. For being a member it was required to be a Lappland mountain man. You should have done at least two winter tours with such a anger to justify a membership of the board. That type of anger shall have the character of danger of life, inevitable harm caused by fatigues. Hard to get member of the club:-)

And now of to some new gear. Colombia which sometimes is a forgotten trademark have some real good stuff. The Titanium series has always been good. Now they have developed a new light, slim jacket. perfect for Peak performance..
