some vertical stuff

Two videos of climbing we did in Vipava and Val Rosandra (Glinščica) over the past two weekends.

Yes, I actually did hold a reflector/bouncer up on that wall (seen in the corner at 1:26). Didn’t help much though as I was on the wrong side of the climber and the wall reflects light quite nicely on its own.

Videos by Anže ÄŒokl/Freeapproved interspersed with a few shots by me.

Repovesi Kansallispuisto

Repovesi Kansallispuisto or Repovesi National Park, about 2h north-east of Helsinki, 100km east of Lahti is something that should definitely be experienced in a canoe or kayak and camping. Beautiful…

A few surprises while in Finland:

  • Roads go up and down constantly but you never go high enough to see what’s around you. Flat and bumpy at the same time.
  • Repovesi
    Ruskeasalmi from Mustalamminvuori tower

  • Roads as smooth as tarmac, yet just well compacted fine gravel.
  • You can drive forever yet the landscape hardly changes.
  • How people obviously don’t want to live too close to others. They just call it a village but it’s really not ;)
  • How much of what is Scandinavia you can directly relate to the US.
  • farmhouse

  • How much they love summer cottages on the lakes (I want one!)

  • How every summer cottage also has at least a row boat or two, more often a nice big speedboat (I want those!)
  • Olhavanlampi

  • How there are no old trees anywhere. Sustainable exploitation they call it.
  • new forest
    near Elvingin torni

  • How every building must have a built in ladder to the roof. Must be a health and safety issue demanded by burglars.
