Ready to depart: heidi & I are spending our X-mas holy-break in Austria.
She is already there and I'm lleaving tomorrow. I'll let you know how great it went. My bro. is also there. So, it sounds quite promising.
hugs and love to all!
Chiqui

Yes!

So, after quite many tries, both Jesus and I climbed our life-time proyect in a local climbing area (8a+/8b) (Castillo de Bayuela). As soon as I get a picture of it I'll post it, cause it's quite nice setting and the wall is impressing (like a 15m-high and up to 60º overhanged).
Cheers to all and take care fellas!

Well, in the end it didn't come so soon... but as Jack the Ripper used to say: "Let's take it in parts!"

Mallorca - Psicoblock 2008One of the caves at "Cala Barques"Jesus at "Cova del Diable" ("Devil's Cave", much higher than it looks...)Bendel in the same cave, around 15m above see levelJerry taking off to "lose" fear during the first days. i never dared to do that voluntarily
Me on Bandito, one of the nicest routes at "Cala Barques"
Living in a cave...
...and playing on the sand

Jesus and me at Cala Barque Beach, very good spot to have a cheap accomodation place
...Part of the Crew...
...and our only roof after 10 of the best days in my life.

Austria
Straight from Mallorca, and after 10 days without any sweet-water shower, I flew to Linz (Austria) to spend 3 weeks there.
It was basically: resting, travelling, laughing, eating-drinking-falling sick, hiking and, of course, climbing.

In order to pass as a local, i got some leather trousers. on the pic i'm have my 3-day-lasting moustache (Heidi didn't let me to have it longer if i wanted to have any S*X life...)

We went with Shurli and Evi to Ramsau where we spent 1 night in an awesome valley
we hicked for 11h passing the first and only snow I saw in 2008,
We made a Via Ferrata,

took our rest,

until we got to some of the nicest views on the planet: Danke Shruli & Evi!!!

Bouldering in Kramst (1h from Viena)

Small area, but amazing ploblems. Cristi on the pics
Good pictures by Shurli, bad faces by me.

Once back in Spain the high-light is that I got the teaching job!!! I'm working in a 40km-away village with 12-14 yr old kids. I didn't know it was legal to work so little, hehe
More news: I got my first car! not a van as I wanted, but the Citroën Xsara I got was so cheap that Heidi and I can sleep on a Hotel for years until we make the difference until the price of a van.
Over here i still too warm for good bouldering (sorry to say so SUOMI friends..), but anyway next weekend we are heading to Albarracín. I'm waiting for you emails telling me you are coming, so What the F**k are you waiting for?

Big hugs, love and anal sex to all

Coming soon...

Hello there!
At the moment i'm in Austria enjoying my time with Heidi, Family & Friends. This place is really beautifull in summer, the only bad thing is that i don't have good pics with me so soon i'll put pics of both this trip (hikking, climbing and happying) and my previous one in Mallorca (climbing, falling, swimming and all over again).
So, this is only a bit of an advance of my next entry.
Take care and big hugs to all!

Pedriza 8.Jul

Here we are, bouldering a bit in a really good sector of pedriza, not too many problems there, but very nice setting and good quality

Jesus on Robin:

Me on the same problem:

Great fun and superbe company with entreansias guys.

Back to life

Well folks, i'm on the road again, after severl months (9) of studying, eating, studying, sleeping and back to the beggining again and again, i'm officially done with my f****ing teaching exams (oposiciones for those who know a bit about the painfull, nonesense and completly random process of becoming a PE teacher in Spain).
yesterday i completed my second and last exam so i've done all i could in this bussiness. right after that Heidi left Spain for some holidays in austria and some work in California (lucky her!), so all in a sudden i find my self with more time to waste than an hijo puta en el día del padre (...a lot).
I'm still working part time at the uni, i'm supposed to work on my PhD thesis, dunno how fast i'll do it if i get the teaching job.
for this summer i'm going to Mallorca (18th-27th July) for some Psicoblock with some spanish and austrian friends. i'm really excited about that.
Straight from mallorca i head to austria, where i'll spend 2 days with Heidi's family until she's back from US. Then, we'll visit the suroundings and spot some climbing places in Öster-right (?)... Back to Spain the 20th August and flying again to Lanzarote (Canary islands) for the last week of holidays.
Don't write all this to make you jealous my friends, just to let you know my plans after all this months of misery and silly studying. I'm so keen on spending time with friends, climbing, laughing and loving (only with you heidi, of course!), brrrrrrrrrr...
Well, some personal post:
- Ila or any other finnish climber: is anyone coming to Mallorca with me? or you are just thinking of you 45cm walls of soumi, hehehe
- Sebas: vas a estar en Mallorca esos días de julio?
- Carlos: como va todo güey? ayer me cené unas enchiladas a tu salud.
- National football selection: it wasn't quite fair you won just the day before my final exams, try to do it the day after next time.
- Rest of the world: i love you all now that i'm back to life!

HOASSS ISSSS!

Happy new 2008!

Bit late for "Merry X-mas!" and "Happy new 2008s!", but anyway, better late than never.
My life in Toledo (Aleho!) has been pretty quite lately. I'm just studying and climbing or travelling around during the weekend with Heidi & Friends.

Here I show some pics from the last climbing trip to Albarracín (Fuckin Bouldering Paradise!!!), Escorial and Pedriza. I have never seen more climbing potential as in Pedriza, really sharp granite though!


In the bungalow of Albarracín's Camping (60€/nite per 4 people)

All the trops right before the 1st climbing day

The rest of the Amazona Warriors under the Winter Sun: Evi, Claudia und Heidi

Me on an amazing roof

Albarracín la nuit!


Magic rock of the forrest

Our friend Georg (Shrully?) back in Escorial


Last monday I went to Pedriza, trying a really nice project, check this link
to see the video a friend made.

Well my friends, I hope you are all right, hopefully you can climb as much as you want or at least be as happy as you can.

Big Hugs to all
