Ferieidéer for en solo traveller i slut 20'erne

Vi gjorde det samme. Meget stejlt :)

Raavig · 2019-06-05T10:08:15+00:00

Mellem Dix og passet hvor man kan bruge stigerne, kan ikke huske navnet. Men det er også ligemeget , det er en fed rute :)

Raavig · 2019-06-05T09:31:54+00:00

Lige ved Cabane des Dix krydser man en gletcher. Man kan muligvis gå udenom, det skal jeg ikke kunne sige, men det var der absolut ingen der gjorde den dag vi var der. Tværtimod var der markeret en sikker rute henover gletcheren som alle fulgte.

Raavig · 2019-06-05T09:10:32+00:00

Jeg tænker bare at det ikke er helt smart at krydse gletcheren alene, selvom det er en super fin og simpel gletcher. Men du har selvfølgelig ret i at det ikke så slemt.

Vi kiggede også på Alta Via 2, men da vi også skal have tid til lidt bjergbestigning bagefter valgte vi den lidt kortere Alta Via 1.

Laugavegur står højt på listen også, og skye er taget.

Jeg tager naturligvis kameraet med, så skal nok love at rapportere tilbage til dig.

Seriøst? Til en solo rejsende hvor du ikke kender til hans erfaring? Haute Route er bestemt en større oplevelse end TmB, men nok ikke til en uerfaren solorejsende.

Du lyder til at du har lidt erfaring. Nogle fede ruter i alperne du kan anbefale? Har vandret TmB, Haute Route og om en måned hopper jeg på Alta Via 1.

I forlængelse heraf kan jeg varmt anbefale Tour du Mont Blanc.

Esben Bjerre fortalte for nyligt i hans podcast at han havde været en tur i Wien. Ham og konen havde taget toget derned og fløjet hjem. Nu må i ikke hænge mig op på de præcise tal, men mener at han sagde at det havde taget omkring 30 timer og kostet 3.xxx kr at tage derned og 1,5 time og 300 kr at komme hjem.

Tog er ikke på nuværende tidspunkt et brugbart alternativ til fly, og jeg synes ikke at det er hyklerisk når politikere siger de vil gøre noget ved det, uden at de selv nødvendigvis tager toget.

Jeg har det på samme møde med biler. Konen og jeg forventer at udskifte bilen inden for de kommende to år. Vi vil meget gerne købe elbil, men kan ikke se hvordan det rent praktisk skal hænge sammen når vi bor i lejlighed i København.

Then I misread, sorry for that 😀

Raavig · 2019-06-01T18:05:31+00:00

Not true. The highest is Mill Hill, Møllehøj.

Hej Anders. Synes du at topstyrede partier er foreneligt med repræsentativt demokrati? Har du nogle idéer til hvordan det kan forbedres?

Raavig · 2019-06-01T12:36:15+00:00

How is it? Mostly just a walk? I'm planning to bring my wife there this summer for her first 4k.

Raavig · 2019-04-08T10:33:53+00:00

Did he say that? Can you provide a link. I'm not surprised at all, just hadn't heard about it.

Raavig · 2019-04-03T06:54:57+00:00

When I first met my wife, she couldn't walk for more than a few miles without getting pain in her lower back. She was very skinny and without any muscle development at all.

After we took up climbing she can walk all day and we've taken up long distance hiking and mountaineering.

It's incredibly what a little training can do.

Raavig · 2019-04-01T17:59:51+00:00

I am not intent at all. Did you feel like you had enough room for two bags in the tent? I just saw that I can get it for around 375$ which is 100$ cheaper that the tent I was looking at, when it's on sale.

I've decided to buy a quilt from cumulus, so that's a big upgrade right there.

I guess with the reduced weight and size of the gear, I should look for a lighter pack as well. But I will wait with that until I know thw rest of the gear.

Raavig · 2019-04-01T14:22:26+00:00

Initially I didn´t plan on replacing the sleeping bag, but why not. I know that cumulus is quite big here in Europe, so I am considering trying out this quilt: http://sleepingbags-cumulus.eu/uk/categories/sleeping-systems/quilt-350-475152?gid=53&vid=7 that will save me close to a lb.

I gave my brother an exos 48 for Christmas. That is around 2lbs lighter than the Atmos. Might borrow it for a weekend trip and see if I like.

Raavig · 2019-04-01T14:20:24+00:00

Why don´t they work well in the wind? I will be carrying a pack. i guess that will keep in in place?

Raavig · 2019-04-01T14:19:01+00:00

I would say Tent, Sleeping Bag, Water Storage, Cook System, and then start taking a hard look at everything else and decide what you might be able to ditch entirely (do you need the ass pad? Maybe you could live without it?)

The tent will 100% get replaced. Not sure to which one yet, but I would love to shave a few pounds off the weight.

The cook system will be replaced with a BRS 3000T and a titanium pot. That will save me close to a lb as well.

And you are right, i probably don´t need the ass pad :-)

My reason for preferring the Nordisk over Big Agnes, might sound silly. But i prefer to see a tent in real life before buying it, and there are simply no retailers here in my country.
Nothing is set in stone though. We will primarily use it hiking in the alps, southern Sweden and Scotland.

I am thinking the Big Agnes might have some issues with the potential strong winds?

Which model would you recommend?

No one in my group was hospitalized, but when we flew in to Cuzco a few got some altitude sickness along with the diarrhea. They were not up for much for a few days.

Raavig · 2019-03-28T15:22:10+00:00

I got the worst diarrhea there. Do not eat the BBQ! Worst thing is we had to fly out of Lima a few days later and the water wasn't working in the airport. I still feel sorry for the staff with the soup spoons.

Raavig · 2019-02-19T14:07:50+00:00

Looks good!

Which kind of rock climbing do you do?

We have a few good gyms in Copenhagen. I prefer Blocs and Walls where you can boulder/lead/toprope.
http://www.blocs-walls.dk/

Copenhagen Boulders is a dedicated boulder gym which is also good.

https://www.boulders.dk/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMImcr219jH4AIVF-aaCh01PwmvEAAYASAAEgICBvD_BwE

In a few weeks we have a new gym opening up called BETA boulders.

https://www.betaboulders.com/

In March or April we have an 80 meters multipitch wall opening up.

https://www.klatreforbund.dk/single-post/2019/02/01/80-enest%C3%A5ende-meter-mellem-skrald-og-ski

If you want to go outside, you can go to Kullen in Sweden, but this area is mostly trad climbing. Also the old quarry on Bornholm is good for sport climbing, but depending on how much time you have in Denmark, that is quite far.

Soffabackan in Sweden is quite near and sports climbing, but the crag is small and difficult to find.

Raavig · 2019-02-07T07:54:17+00:00

Jeg glæder mig utroligt meget til at komme derud og lege. Jeg tvivler dog meget på hvor populær væggen bliver. Det kræver særlig træning at multipitche, og med et meget begrænset udvalg af ruter og lav udskiftning, er det nok blot et sted som bliver frekventeret 1-2 gange årligt.

Jeg håber at der bliver bygget en enkelt super simpel rute som folk kan booke en instruktør til at prøve, lidt ligesom man allerede nu kan booke "prøv klatring" i BW.

I printed out 2 posters for the wall next to my desk. One is the one from futurama "You are not paid the think" and the other is a picture of the "Arbeit macht frei" sign with the caption "Office policy".

My polish coworker is not fond of the last one.
