As the a decade is coming to an end. I took a moment to look through some old pictures. Most of the time when I'm in the mountains I don't take pictures at all. Too busy having a good time!
As it turns out you start forgetting things you have done. This is but a handful of the best moments I had in the mountains for the last two years. One can only hope that all the other mental pictures taken will not fade away.
Tournier Spur - Les Droites
Alexnder Nordvall
This is a beautiful natural line up the central spur and then finishing up the ice gullys at the top.
Breithorn Traverse
Nick Draper
Ridge with Snow and rock traversing several 4000m summits. Classic one axe Mountaineering at its best!
Puterey Integral - Mont Blanc
Gustav Mellgren
This route is on the list of every Mountaineer that is climbing in the alps. Traversing Mont Blanc via big granite towers from Italy to France with about 4500m of ascent.
Tour Ronde - Brenva Glacier
Isaac van Trooswijk & Sami Haapasalmi
Tour de Grand Casse
Fredrik Liberg & Alexander Nordvall
We did a four day ski tour around the area of Grand Casse. Large amounts of snow and no people in sight. Drawing a new line in the fresh snow for days without seeing other people is a cool experience in the alps.
Aiguille du Genepi
Heather Florence
This year we had a heat wave in February that allaowed us to rock climb in the mountains for days in the middle of winter.
Traverse of the Courtes - Croulante Couloir
Polly Harmer
Glacier de Tre la Tete
Mathias Tesauro
One day walking form les Contamines take you to this big glacier with remote feeling and good faces to ski.

Traverse of the Grandes Jorasses
Heather Florence
Good adventure over two days. Climbing all the summits on the mountain of dreams.
Valle dell'Orco

This has been one of my favourite places to climb lately. Beautiful valley full of granite and climbing history.
