For old time sake

Few climbers I've met are bursting with such passion and energy at the rocks, as Said. Just the fact that he climbs more than hundred routes 8a and above every year, I think speaks for itself. Last week, while paying a short visit in his old hometown, he spent an afternoon at Hyltebergen repeating his training-circuit from back in the day. A bunch of sevens and a couple of eights, in between sushi in the sun and dinner at his mom's place, is a pace one can only dream of keeping up with.
