We (Fred and Mathias) got into climbing in the nineties and this interest led us to travel the world doing various great sports together and with different people we met along the way. From early on we captured the experiences in text and photos, and uploaded them to this website. We talk about the experience of the trips, the equipment we use and share our adventures so that maybe you can go and make your own!
