every time we go into nature something is given to us. it is a constant source of inspiration and adventure, as well as a place for reflection and recovery. nature doesn´t need us, but we need nature and the paths we hike today must survive to be discovered by others tomorrow. This magalog is a bundle of dreams from outdoor enthusiasts who love adventures and push their limits to gain new insights about themselves. we hope you’ll be inspired by the beauty of the Kluane national park, by the fantastic climbing in Yosemite, by swedish lapland at it´s wildest or by a somewhat unexpected winter adventure in the stockholm archipelago. please enjoy your reading and your next adventure! The haglöfs team.

The KaiTum river: LapLand aT

iT’s wiLdesT.always on the lookout for great adventures, my eye was caught by the description of the Kaitum elva in swedish Lapland. “a river with an enormous wilderness character”. That in itself would be enough to pack my gear, but what followed was even more interesting. The put-in lay hidden so far in the middle of nowhere, that it could only be reached by floatplane. The guidebook said: “probably it’s possible to reach the put-in by a long portage on your own keel and legs, but obviously no one has tried this yet.” well, if i read something like that, there’s only one solution: go to Lapland. preferably during the period that fall colours splash from the mountainsides and the mosquitoes are starting their hibernation.

Fac Ts K aiT umäLven The tributaries of Kaitumälven rise west of the Kebnekaise massif and flow eastwards, through Övre, mellersta and nedre Kaitumjaure. it is about 1500 km long, finally flowing into the Kalixälven river. Kaitumälven is famed for its clear water and good fishing, which includes char, grayling and trout. paddling and rafting are other popular activities.

a monTh Long TreK means a piLe oF gear which is reasonabLe To sTow in a canoe. buT iF you are

Towing your canoe upsTream and Then carry every-Thing over The KungsLeden, you asK yourseLF why

you ever sTarTed This advenTure! The answer To ThaT quesTion maKes me happy, because i can onLy bLame myseLF; iT was my own choice. This is uLTimaTe Free-

dom and ThaT is exacTLy why i’m ouT here.

after a week we arrive at the source lakes of the river Kaitum. The lake padje Kaitumjaure is crystal clear and our coffee kettle is simmering over a small fire. The sky has changed colours from sheer blue to soft pink and the first stars appear. quite some mugs of coffee later, even the northern lights are mir-rored on the water.

i don’t want to sleep, because this is absolutely perfect. not just this moment, but the knowledge that beyond these moun-tains are more mountains and more birch forests, with bear scat and wolf tracks.

wilderness and silence in large. it sharpens my senses and clears my focus. Time is getting a different meaning. no longer is it about getting somewhere. of course, we have the goal to get further downriver and in the end we hope to reach a small place named Kaitum station. but on moments like this, i’m so happy to have plenty of time before we get there.

sometimes we leave the canoe down at the riverbank and roam the mountains until late in the afternoon. The river looks so different from above and for just a few of these pictures

i don’t mind walking half a day. The berries up there taste great so we return to our camp with purple tongues.

after the lakes, the Kaitum narrows to a real river. Frequently we encounter whitewater passages and after scouting we paddle most of them. The moment we push off from the stoney banks and pick up speed from the river is always thrilling. you’re still able to steer and dictate direction, but you’ll go with the flow anyway. water splashes in my face. The canoe bounces on the waves. plain action. strained muscles are preventing a sudden capsize. in the middle of a roller coaster i’m only busy staying upright. not until the waves are dying out, i become reckless and wish it would last even longer.

after the action we’re heading for shore to unload our canoe. our daily routine of making camp, gathering firewood, cooking, eating and drinking coffee. we don’t talk that much and exactly that silent connection is very dear to me.

it is why treks like this reach beyond rushing adventures. at first glance we only have little out here. no internet, no Tv, no fridge en no supermarket. but the luxury world of tele-

2020

phones, computers and deadlines can’t beat the silence of swedish Lapland, the dancing northern lights and the taste of wild blueberries. here, less becomes more.

more wild for instance. quite often we catch sight of light-footed herds of reindeer, travelling upstream. one evening a herd runs so close alongside our camp, that we fear for our guylines. when i hear splashing in the river that night, i jump upright and fumble the tent zipper. meanwhile Frank is looking at the river through the ventilation cap in the peak of out teepee tent. in the pale moonlight i see four young moose bulls step-ping through the water. The moose climb the bank next to our tent and disappear into the forest. satisfied i lay down on my insulation pad.

“great, four moose bulls at once!” i say to Frank. “huh, moose?”, he recalls. “in my opinion there are ten

reindeer. They are still here by the way.” can’t i count to ten anymore? did i forget the difference

between a moose and a reindeer or did i get too much berries? i look outside again, at the other side of the tent this time, where indeed a group of reindeer is passing by.

no words come close to this feeling of becoming part of nature. only the knowledge that autumn in the north is short and that it won’t be long until frost will stop the current in the river, drives us on the next day.

hardly a month after our departure we reach a railroad bridge. a handful of houses is laying scattered in the forest. a shabby waiting room – hardly three by four metres – is called the Kaitum station. in fact there is a timetable hanging on the wall, but we just can’t imagine that a train has stopped here the past ten years. in a metal box with the inscription information hangs a telephone which, when i pick it up, is almost immediately answered to my surprise. in my best swedish for beginners i ask when a train will stop here. in decent english for advanced is explained that we should turn a yellow sign towards the railroad. Thus the train will stop and pick us up.

To my astonishment the system seems to work out the next morning.

we get on the train with our folded canoe, buy a ticket and after a month in the wilderness we then sit a bit in a daze between the commuters on their way to gällivare.

TreKKing The first few days of a trek often feel like hard work for your body.

it has to become used to a heavy pack and uneven terrain; it is now that your backpack and boots, in particular, will prove their worth.

your backpack should fit your body shape: back length, hip and chest circumferences, so that it can be carried in the right way – on your hips

and not on your shoulders. your boots should be stable, light and quick drying. haglöfs has produced a unique boot that fulfils these requirements;

it is made from synthetic materials, so it is very easy to care for.

we are extremely proud of grym. you are welcome to give it a try and to literally walk in the new generation of trekking boots.

a footbed from soLe® that moulds itself to your foot. orthopaedic

shape that supports your entire foot, from heel to toe. deep heel cup for stability and increased

comfort.

superFabric® – extremely durable, lightweight and quickdrying.

sole developed in partnership with vibram®. unique rubber compound and a tread that is specially cut for

good grip in tough terrain and on wet surfaces.

innovative hiking boot with a high shaft made of a unique material

combination, resulting in a lightweight boot that is durable, quick drying and very

easy to look after.

Fac tS S tockholm archiPel agothe Stockholm archipelago has around 35,000 islands and skerries and covering about 1,700 km². it has about 10,000 residents, but it is estimated that around 3 million people visit the archipelago in the summer. the harsh coastal climate affects the flora and fauna, and rare species such as grey seals, eagle owls and sea eagles are found here. there is one national park, Ängsö, in the archipelago, as well as several nature reserves. around 15 percent of its land area is owned or administered by the archipelago Foundation (Skärgårdsstiftelsen). most of the remaining land is owned by private property owners, some by companies that run tourism businesses.

in the summer, the Stockholm archipelago is a famous and popular tourist destination, but those who come here in the winter get to see another side to it, one that is at least as fantastic. the ice extends to make the outer skerries accessible to long-distance skaters. add a few centimetres of snow to that and you have a paradise for cross-country skiers. Paddling is good in places that have not submitted to the ice or, if the winds are from the south-west and over 8-12 m/s, conditions are right for surfing at torö’s stony beach.

in brief – winter in Stockholm’ archipelago is the perfect playground for outdoor enthusiasts.

the winter of 2010 has been an epic one for winter sport enthu-siasts in Stockholm. the persistent cold and the snow, which have made normally frosty roads look like roads in the alps, have created infinite opportunities for everyday adventures.

early in January, when the ice in the archipelago was snow-covered, i went cross-country skiing with my dog, akeela. my skate skiing and his movements blended together in a symbio-sis where we maintained speed through my gliding and poling and his pull on the harness. we flew along and both enjoyed it. it was like skiing on midnight snow in the late winter moun-tains, but on the flat and with lots of houses around us.

it was on one such trip that i started to dream of a multi-day trip through the archipelago, from north to south. Sadly i would have to leave akeela at home, as he wouldn’t appreciate open channels or accidental swims. instead, i needed a two-legged companion. as i was having these thoughts a good friend, calle, rang and said:

“we have to come up with a good adventure in the archipelago now that the snow and the weather are so good!”

he was thinking of kayaking, skating and skiing. i felt it was complicated and thought about my longer trip.

“what about a tree-day trip, kapellskär to Sandhamn, Sandhamn to utö and utö to nynäshamn on skate skis?

he went for it. yes!

a thorough planning process started. every day, i looked at satellite images of the ice in the Baltic, ice reports from long-distance skaters, organised dry suits from gore, thought through equipment in order to minimise it, talked to locals and – most of all – tried to interpret the weather in order to find the ideal timing. Finally, i decided that the best dates would be 15, 16 and 17 march. a few degrees below freezing, light northerly winds and sunshine. after that would there would be a thaw, rain and southerly winds. i also realised that this winter could be the last chance; who knows what future winters will be like? my whole body was tingling – this was it!

at the very last second, calle dropped out. Panic! i called everyone who could imaginably want to and be able to come along, but no one could. i didn’t dare go alone, that would have been stupid. calle had organised a photographer who would meet up with us en route and, on monday night, 12 hours after i’d planned to leave, i finally got hold of the right person: mårten ajne – a fantastic long-distance skater who is an expert on ice and cold water. Perfect!

mårten and i talked about route choices and equipment. the most important item we decide on was a “pack raft” – a small inflatable raft that weighs 2 kg, which can be used to transport backpacks and skis over open channels so that they stay dry.

our Journe y

on tuesday night, there was a light snowfall that left about 7 mm of snow on the ice. mårten and i met in Älgö and went through the final details. Finally – i was excited and wanted to get going!

we started at nine in the morning. the sky was cloudy and there was a light wind from the south-west. our bulky, 15 kg backpacks weighed down our shoulders, as well as the arches of our skis, and it was soon apparent that the little snow that had fallen during the night had radically changed the condi-tions. the snow was no longer hard and fast, it was soft and resistant. it was like skiing with klister wax.

the trip from Älgö to the southern tip of ingarö disintegrated into a nightmare. the sweat poured off us and we worked like dogs. i quickly realised that mårten was a superb companion; even though he didn’t “own” the dream in the same way as i did, he just gritted his teeth and got with it in an impressive manner.

it is a marvellous feeling to move through the outer archipelago on skating skis, accompanied by a good friend. the freedom of seeing the sea to the east and islands in the west expands your senses. we were out on a living sea with huge amounts of water beneath our feet. we were alone, it was beautiful, it was fantastic.

we met the photographer, henrik, in Björkvik on ingarö. he laughed heartily when he saw us appear, wet and sweaty, and as we were standing there we suddenly saw something moving at the northern end of Jungfrufjärden – at ship moving south-wards at full speed through the ice. damn! She was moving fast and straight towards our route across the sound. now we had to move quickly. i set off at a furious speed out into the ship-ping lane to see if i could get the ship to swerve behind us or to brake so that we could pass in front of her. mårten was right behind me. we charged on with the taste of blood in our mouths and, to our horror, we saw that the ship was not slowing down or changing course at all. the ice vibrated and broke up as the ship passed just in front of us, making a 20-metre wide channel that we would have to swim across in order to continue. this would be a test of our experience – had we planned properly?

i moved to the edge of the channel, doubt and determination whirling around my head. mårten caught me up. we calmly established, but with butterflies in our stomachs, that the only thing to do was to get changed. Backpacks off, dry suits on, neoprene shoes, neoprene gloves, inflate the pack raft, attach the heaving lines to each end of the pack raft, attach backpacks and skis to the pack raft. i knotted one end of the heaving line around my waist, both so that i could take the line to pull over the pack raft and so that mårten would be able to pull me back if anything happened in the channel. i grinned at mårten and, as if i was crossing the Styx, the border between the kingdoms of the living and the dead, said “see you on the other side” and stepped onto the first floe.

i had to lower my centre of gravity rapidly in order to keep my balance, so i lay flat. as i crawled on my stomach on the ice floes in the newly created shipping channel, i started to smile. with a fear-tinged delight, i felt how the blocks of ice started to rotate and how i inevitably slid down between them. “damn, this is going to be cold,” was one thought that flashed through my head, while another was “will i be able to get through the ice blocks and up onto the ice on the other side?”. But most of all, euphoria spread through me, as this was exactly the type of everyday adventure i was looking for.

i finally pulled myself out on the other side. a little bit of a struggle, slightly cold hands and feet, but otherwise fine. my heart thudded with excitement. i pulled the pack raft and equip-ment over, which also went smoothly as the blocks of ice simply moved out of its way due to the weight. i unpacked the equip-ment and mårten pulled it back over. we wanted to test whether it would be possible to pull him over as well and, to our delight, it worked perfectly. i was happy that carting the pack raft’s extra weight had been worthwhile and mårten was overjoyed about something entirely different, namely:

“it was groundbreaking, epochal. the pack raft’s proven functionality has solved the century-old problem of open chan-nels. this opens up entirely new opportunities for long coastal skating trips.”

in total, it had taken us an hour to cross the channel. as we got changed and packed the backpacks the sun came out and the clouds disappeared.

we continued south of uvön, up into the strait west of mörtö and stopped for a much-needed rest and lunch in a gazebo on the southern end of nämdö. we were tired of the unforgiving snow conditions that meant we had to fight for every metre’s prog-ress, but we were cheered by our successful passage over the channel. it was sunny and we felt that now we could over come any obstacles ahead of us.

we ate and drank what we had in our backpacks to refill our energy stores and then continued our trip. we decided to ski up to Solvik on nämdö to see if we could refill with water and hopefully find something to eat. of course, the grocery shop in Solvik was closed, so i went and knocked on the door of an elderly couple. they were happy to give us water and would have loved us to stay for coffee, but we had to keep on north-wards to catch the last ferry to Stavsnäs.

we followed a snowmobile track across orrön, heading towards Bullerö, and then turned north. the difficult deep snow was draining, but mårten showed unwavering strength and de-termination. now we were racing the clock. our first aim was to get to Skarpö-runmarös’ western point, to catch the ferry from there, but we realised that would be too close time-wise and didn’t dare risk it, as the ice and snow conditions could be even worse ahead of us. instead, we decided to ski towards Söder-sunda on runmarö, from where we could follow the road to Styrsvik to give us enough time to catch the ferry to the main-land. as the tips of our skis left the ice and we poled our way up onto land, hunger and gratitude washed over me. i was ecstatic at having completed this dream journey and enormously hungry after completing 48 km on sea ice in 7.5 hours.

the road to Styrsvik passed a shop, which was closed – of course. once we were in Styrsvik we got changed on the dock and were the subject questioning glances from the other ferry passengers: what had we been doing with such strange equipment? Skate skis, large backpack, ice claws and heaving line…? when we told them, they wondered if we were in our right minds. i smiled a little to myself as i realised that that was exactly what we were. once we were on the ferry we ran to the cafeteria and tried to buy everything; we ate, we laughed and were happy!

once again, the Swedish meteorological and hydrological institute’s daily ice chart was right – it had said that yttre hålls-fjärden would be open and, through the car windscreen, i can see open water glittering farther out. closer in, there’s just rotting spring ice.

the twisting road ends in a turning area at Stora uttervik. there is a floating dock with two boats, one of which is painted blue and white and named aurelia, aSkö. there is ice here too, except for where an old channel has broken through. it feels as if it is the link between me and the freedom outside it, an artery that brings lifeblood to my dream of paddling in the outer bays. the question is whether it is open all the way out, or is the ice hard-packed and frozen? i pick up my binoculars. it looks as if it should be possible… doesn’t it?

as i’m standing there, trying to weigh up the situation, a white pickup truck rolls up alongside me. out jumps a man with a warm knitted hat, three-day stubble and firm, friendly eyes. he looks at the kayak on the car and at my sad expression.

“you can come with me out to open water if you want,” he says. “the ice is going to move out because there’s a north wind, so there’ll be no problems getting back in again,” he continues, introducing himself as Johan.

my gaze catches a few embroidered words on his jacket: ‘Supervisor” and below that, ‘county administrative Board”. i hesitate slightly. if the wind changes the opposite will happen, it would be more difficult to get back to land across the rotten ice. then i would have to take the kayak out further away and carry it back; a tough and difficult project bearing in mind the steep, high cliffs that frame the bay. option two would be to put up my tent and hope that the ice moved away if i got stuck out there. But back home the kids have planned tacos, so… no night in a tent. the supervisor appears to see what i’m thinking and suggests driving back a few hundred metres and turning

off to käftudden. however, he says that there is lots of private property there so it’s difficult to get between the houses and down to the water. the open water is glistening just past the edge of the ice… so close!

i weigh up the option of trying out käftudden and jump into the car. the road gets bumpier and bumpier and, just as Johan said, it’s impossible to even see a path down to the water. i give up and drive back to uttervik, just in time to see Johan’s boat slowly work its way out through the ice, a little bit at a time. Back a bit, then breaking forward, haphazardly, but a narrow channel is finally open out to the water.

now i’m in a rush; the kayak comes off the roof, equipment is quickly packed into the storage compartments. the morning is sunny and still, 6°c with dazzling, warm sunshine. despite this, i put my dry suit on; better safe and dry than extremely cold and wet is my reasoning. impatiently, i urge myself on, each second feels like an eternity. the paddle fits together with a click and, with an effort, i lift the packed kayak down into the water, and then glide down into the cockpit.

a shiver of anticipation rushes through me. i raise my eyes as the paddle’s blade finds the water’s surface. First on the left and then on the right. my yellow blades cut and crackle through the thin sheet of ice that formed overnight in the older part of the channel. Quick, small, light strokes, the ice makes the rules. there is lapping, sucking and scraping below the kayak. i feel how the hull submits to the harder ice, but this is reversed where the ice is more porous: the kayak presses down the ice. up on a large floe, about 3 square metres, move my body weight forward and the kayak rests on the ice. Slowly, with a sucking sound, the floe divides and sinks. Fine trunk adjustments so i’m balanced… making sure i am sitting high to be able to respond more effectively. active relaxation.

34 h a g l ö F S 10 / 11

i hold the ice in my hand and feel how my fingers dig through a porous layer, get a good hold and pull myself forward. lift my eyes and squint at the open water, lose focus for a second. that’s when it suddenly happens: the kayak’s bow becomes wedged stuck in a large floe and, before i have time to back up, the floe i just passed floats up and effectively chisels itself around the stern – and i can move neither forwards nor backwards.

a long second passes. i don’t want the ice to begin to turn and rotate with the help of the forces i have added to it. Bathing in this icy mush doesn’t feel that attractive, surrounded by rot-ting ice floes and bobbing slush. i try to tug myself loose with short, sharp paddle strokes. the ice loosens its grip, giving me increased confidence that i’m using the right technique. and so it continues, metre by metre through the channel; total concen-tration and forward planning, choosing my route as much as i can. the ice is packed together for the final 20 metres, but breaking through it is fine.

Suddenly, all the scraping noises are gone and the water surface is free. there is total silence as the hull glides through the soft water. i put down my paddle and look back towards the ice field. it can’t help but smile, raise my arms in the air and give a short “yee-hoo”! that passage along has made the entire trip a great memory.

i paddle along the cliffs that rise out of the sea. my knees are in firm contact with the underside of the deck, good trunk

rotation, pull and push through the paddle stroke. the paddle responds well and there is a spring in its shaft, swosh, swosh, swosh. the bow cleaves the surface. an ice floe passes. waves lift and lower the hull and bunches of bladderwrack drift below the kayak. i tip the kayak to the right and round a cape with a soft leftward arch… glide silently over the water’s surface. the only sound is a flock of eiders chattering.

a number of skerries in the area have a landing ban and i stay away from the flocks of seabirds. a pair of long-tailed ducks pass over my head, their long tail feathers sticking out like spears. long-tailed ducks overwinter in large flocks in the shallow bays, moving north when the ice breaks up. Small groups of eider sit and bob around, mature males and females waiting to go up on land and breed. over at Bockholmen, a few gulls are patrolling the cliffs and there are good odds of being accompanied by a seal or a sea eagle. Protective hunting is the only form of seal hunt that is permitted in the area and the sea eagles have had one their best breeding seasons in a long time, so their numbers have increased significantly.

the sea is as calm as a mirror, the sun’s rays reflect back up in my face and my hat was removed a while ago. i pass by small skerries and over reefs, squint through the sunlight and out over the bay. i have the water to myself and ‘indian paddle’ back and forth over the bay, down towards the island of lacka.

and tonight there’ll be tacos.

Sleeping out in the winter places high demands on your equipment. most people instinctively think that a sleeping bag should be warm, but the sleeping pad

is at least as important, so that you are warm when you go to bed. if you sleep out in the winter, the most difficult issue is

that of moisture; when you wake in your tent or bivouac your sleeping bag may be covered with a layer of frost or moisture, depending on the temperature.

this is the moisture that your body has released during the night and which has passed through the sleeping bag’s lining fabric, through the fill

and on to the outside of the sleeping bag.

only really good sleeping bags with carefully selected materials can manage this. it is easy to deal with moisture or frost on the outside of the sleeping bag by taking it out and shaking it off, then allowing the sleeping bag to air for

as long as possible before packing it up for the day.

Yak attack a ”little” race

among high mountains.

Fac ts Yak at tackYak attack goes around the annapurna circuit in the himalayas and covers 420 kilometres in 10 days. it has more than 8 000 metres of climb and the highest point is 5 416 metres above sea level. high altitude, combined with the extreme weather condi-tions, makes Yak attack one of the world’s toughest cycle races. competitors were able to experience everything from 35°c and desert landscapes to -15°c and glaciers, something that places great demands on both the participants and their equipment.

sometimes, two newly-trained, relaxed guys having a chat over a cup of coffee can come up with the most amazing ideas. martin had asked, a little cautiously, whether i had any suggestions for a “different and exciting” bike race. i did: Yak attack in nepal. a ten-day stage race on mountain bikes that has everything from +35°c and deserts to -15°c and glaciers. at its highest point it crosses a 5,416-metre mountain pass. on the whole, it’s a real challenge and absolutely a “different type of race”. of course, i was counting on martin being sensible enough to say no and ask about something simpler. he didn’t.

it’s now almost two years since we drank up our coffee at Fiskartorpet in stockholm, and i’m sitting at home, unpacking the last few items from our trip. i still don’t really understand how everything happened. What did martin actually say to my family that meant i could be away for almost a month – as the new father of a third child? and what did he say to his own family? it wasn’t like he was going out on tour again …

i have spent most of my life on a bicycle and have had biking as a job for many years. First as an athlete, then as a coach and federation captain. martin has had biking as a hobby for his whole life, alongside his profession as a musician. he has lived most of his life on a stage; eaten, breathed, slept and consumed music 24 hours a day. i have also spent a lot of time with music – but at an amateur level. that our journey to nepal was to be an uncompromising mixture of music and sports was fairly likely.

nature has always been both mine and martin’s biggest idol – if it’s possible to express it like that. mountains are at home in nature and don’t need any introduction; beautiful, awe-inspiring, frightening, harmonic and dynamic, the mountains have everything. even though we didn’t really talk about it, the motivating factor driving us in our preparations and the race was probably the opportunity to spend time on the pastoral slopes of the himalayas.

choosing equipment

like many other men, choosing gadgets makes me a cheerful profligate. i don’t just like the cool gear; high quality equipment is an absolute necessity in difficult situations. my job includes optimising equipment for cyclists, so my claim is that my gear interest is both a bit of a guy thing as well as of real worth.

if you are in the outdoors and trying to battle through difficult conditions, then good equipment is essential. heavy rainfall can actually be quite enjoyable if you are properly dressed for it, as can not having to shiver in extreme cold. the list of all the clothing and equipment that adds to life in the outdoors, regard-less of weather and other conditions, is a long one.

cycling in the mountains when it’s cold is one of the most difficult activities for which to dress properly. staying warm is

not a problem as long as you are moving uphill, as speeds are low and the intensity is high, quite the opposite. But as soon as you start going downhill and aren’t working as hard, the cold is noticeable. the wind that is generated, combined with sweaty clothing, means that you rapidly become cold and stiff.

a good shell layer has become my favourite for the moun-tains. a jacket that really keeps the elements at bay if necessary, one which is easy to ventilate and can provide extra protection with a hood. a zip that is easy to open and close is an absolute must, unlike one of those zips that always gets caught in the fabric. my favourite detail is a chest pocket; large enough for a mobile phone, car key, small change, camera or anything else that has to be easy to get to.

to nepal, via Bangkok and an oxYgenated train

after a year of mixed preparations, training and planning, we were ready to depart from arlanda on 2 march. haglöfs were right in their scepticism about all of our material, so we sent 400 kg as freight a week before we left. on the flight, we had a toothbrush each, a couple of guitars, our coordinator lasse strand and a photographer. thai air gave us permission to perform a small 10,000 metres gig on the way to Bangkok. after that we continued to Beijing, before checking in on the himalayan express. this is the world’s highest railway, between Beijing and lhasa. at its highest point, the train passes a little over 5,000 metres and extra oxygen is available in the carriages for those who want some. We tried to have a small gig on the train as well, but the chinese were only moderately impressed … things were different in lhasa, where we gathered a hundred or so people in the square in 40 seconds. however, this wasn’t popular with the police and the military, who immediately de-manded that we stop and menacingly confiscated our cameras,

42 h a g l ö F s 10 / 11

removed all the material and asked us to leave the city. Which we did, almost. lhasa’s smallest establishment is a restaurant that seats six and has yak as a speciality. this was where we hid from the strong arm of the law, ate grilled meat from curly-haired animals with horns and shared our western music. after one song, both the cook and his sister, who were also the restaurant owners, were singing and playing.

the following day, we flew from lhasa to kathmandu and got our first view of mount everest from the plane. like Japanese tourists we took loads of (completely rubbish) pictures of this great mountain.

in the mountains, the mountains decide

the race started from central kathmandu at 8.00 a.m. on 9 march, and we hit the first mountain fairly quickly. martin had a bit of a shock on cycling up his first ever mountain. “holy maloney, it never ends,” he said, after 300 of 1,200 metres of ascent... at that point i became a little anxious about how the remaining 9,000 metres of ascent would be greeted. When we reached the top he immediately regained his good mood and was looking forward to a lovely downhill slope. Yeah, right!

after more than an hour’s bone-shaking on paths of large stones, walking trails and gravel roads, we reached the river bed on the other side of the mountain. martin was once again shocked over how difficult it was to cycle down a mountain, both physically and mentally. losing focus for a single second can be disastrous – dangerously so. i revisited my anxiousness over how this was going to go, but then came the turning point. “okay, now i understand what this is actually all about, so let’s go,” said martin, in a steady voice. and so we did. he grew into it more and more with every mountain and every day that passed. this was where i noticed martin’s enormous capacity for rapidly adapting to new situations.

Yak attack is full of incredible contrasts. after the initial days of extreme heat and desert landscapes, we gradually moved into alpine terrain with snow, cold and thin air. We reached our highest point on day six. We moved almost ridiculously slowly so as not to crash or be beaten down by the altitude. the reaction speed between what the eye sees and what the body does is extremely reduced at high altitude, as the brain gets too little oxygen. this means it is necessary to have large safety margins when moving at heights above 5,000 metres. We wrapped ourselves in wonderful down and felt ill for a while

after arriving at the stage finish with blue lips and pounding headaches. that night’s sleep was nothing to write home about. We felt a bit better on the following day and things went much faster, with speeds in excess of 80 km/hour along the gravel roads down the mountain. the last stage finished in the world’s deepest valley, surrounded by several 7,000 and 8,000-metre peaks. We cycled along a riverbed, passed waterfalls, cheerful people and views that looked as if they were paintings. We were in complete agreement that this was the best thing we’d ever experienced from a bike saddle.

namaste to all

We hired a porter whose task was to carry our guitars along the annapurna circuit. despite tired bodies and empty brains, there was a great deal of creative entertainment in the evenings. there was often someone from the village at the stage finish who joined in with their own instruments, songs or dances. music, like sharing a beer, is an excellent way to rapidly get to know new people.

We had one aim with Yak attack, which probably sounds boring and unambitious – to finish the race and to do so with enthusiasm. in my world, that type of goal is practically forbid-den. But if you’ve spent your whole life on stage, i think it’s an appropriate aim for one of the world’s most complex races. martin’s efforts were extremely impressive and we finished in places seven and eight. it really wasn’t an easy experience, but there was a sense of joy in everything, right to the finish. one of my many reflections was that martin politely greeted everyone we passed throughout the entire race. sometimes he was so wonderfully tired that he could barely remember the lyrics to his biggest hit, 7-mila kliv, but he never missed a namaste. and the race really did make him enthusiastic. Just the day after we arrived in sweden, a mildly irritated martin phoned me to say that he couldn’t find the quick release for his front wheel. he was on his way out to train. i wasn’t.

i promised martin a cup of coffee on mount everest if he succeeded with this challenge, which resulted in our project name, Foreverest. and so it happened that on 22 march we were sat on a slope next to everest, drinking coffee and sum-ming up our half-term holiday: 2,300 pictures, 900 minutes of film and 300 minutes of music. memories, meetings and many, many experiences. did the coffee taste good? Well, ask martin next time you see him!

haglöfs’ intense series is a streamlined range of clothing and backpacks for high pulse activities, made in our way. the materials that are used are carefully

selected to remain functional during long and demanding during endurance sessions. they are lightweight, quick drying and have high breathability.

garments worn next to the skin have been treated to counteract unpleasant odours by restricting bacterial growth, leading to fewer washes and a longer product life.

in addition, the designs are exacting so that they provide the best possible fit and freedom of movement, with no unnecessary detailing or pattern pieces.

this reduces the number of seams and thus the need for lamination and taping. We have taken things away and added them, all so we obtain garments

that are as light and flexible as possible, without negatively affecting durability and functionality.

the St elias mountains of the Yukon’s Kluane national park are a fantasy place for skiers and climbers. From some of the most massive mountains on the planet, still growing glaciers cascade down onto flat glacial high-ways and flow into the pacific ocean. Despite this conduciveness to ski-plane and ski-touring access, engaging the exposure of this remote netherworld demands serious commitment and preparation. huge vertical, mysterious conditions and some of the most intense weather on the planet combine to create serious challenges for accomplishing objectives inspired by such incredible aesthetic beauty. Massive coastal storms that last for weeks make for sporadic opportunities and can easily trap mountaineers both at basecamp and at altitude in a fight for survival.

Skiing in Kluane was always my fantasy. one fine May, a strong, motivated partner, enough money for supplies and a ski-plane, together with strong legs from a big winter of ski-touring, all came magically together to make a ski expedition there. i’ll always remember the daunting feeling of anticipation while waiting for our window to fly in at andy William’s ski plane base on the shore of Kluane lake. We paid close attention to his words of experience and observations to temper our bold ambitions. Soon enough, the plane would fade away in the distance leaving us in the thundering silence beneath the Mount logan. With a hundred something kilometers of ice and rock in every direction, we were left to match wits with giants.

Fac tS Kluane national parKKluane national park is located in south-western Yukon, canada. it was founded in 1972 and is slightly larger than 22,000 km². the park is the world’s largest non-polar glacier area; 82 percent of its surface consists of mountains and glaciers. it is home to the St elias Mountains, which have canada’s highest peak, Mt logan (5959m). the park is rich in wildlife, including moose, wolf, lynx and grizzly bear. there is no road into the national park, which received World heritage status in 1979.

From our new camp, still 6km away from the base of the mountain, we made haste to take advantage of the perfect weather. the following afternoon we began skinning and climbing on into the pseudo-darkness of the Yukon night, roped up on shady features of ice and accompanied by the rhythm of a constantly shedding colossal serac. at 4:20 in the afternoon we stood atop Mt vancouver’s 4812m summit, mesmerized at the view. just as we began to ski onto the northwest face, sharp winds from the south began to tube us with the chalky spray of our turns and it felt as if we were being hustled of the moun-tain. back at the camp 30 hours later we had completed an uninterrupted 3132m ski run.

the next 4 days were spent tentbound, resting, eating and reading as our fabulous views turned to ping-pong ball style isolation and fresh snow. When the storm broke we skied a beautiful small steep 400m north face on an unnamed peak we had passed on the way over as well as making a reconaissance to the west side of Mt vancouver. then we decided to prioritize the rest of our time for a go at Mt Macarthur, our other inspira-tion from our air reconaissance.

after leaving a cache of gear en route, we were once again pinned down by two days of snow. our supplies were running low and our pickup time approaching but the full moon brought back clear skies and colder temperatures giving us a window for

another overnight mission in our final days. at our next camp, a nearby steep face was too enticing with such good powder condi-tions and we chose to ski it in place of additional rest and sleep.

the plan was to attempt Macarthur like we had vancouver, going light and fast to see how far we could get before skiing down in the sunset. after a 5km approach we began skin-ning up the north ridge, climbing as it turned to a knife edge and even navigating a crux of mixed climbing before reaching it’s high plateau. as smoke from alaskan forest fires set the midnight sunset ablaze we stood atop Macarthur’s 4308m east Summit. our eyes anchored us to Mt logan and Mt St elias catching the last light before releasing us into the pale blue night to make big long turns in the cold powder.

by lunchtime the next day, we were flying back, riding the winds from the approaching storm. Finally, a valley to return to. Kluane lake had melted out and the trees were all green now. a lone moose waded through the river as andy banked the plane around for final approach to the dirt runway. Stunned by the sensuality of the Yukon spring after 20 days of watching the sun circle the horizon in a white desert, it was dificult to express our experience to the other climbers waiting to fly out. our fortune was indeed great having skied 5 premiere descents when normally making one summit is a cherished success. it just might have been the best backcountry adventure ever.

bacKcountrY a trip in the backcountry can be anything from a relaxing experience in a few degrees below zero with a light breeze and warm sunshine,

to a hard struggle in severe cold, spiced with low visibility. often, the reality is somewhere in the middle.

in addition to external conditions, your level of activity will vary between efforts that are on the verge of difficult to recovery and rest.

Finding the right equipment for such differing circumstances is an art form. Your shell layer must provide maximum protection from the elements,

but without being too bulky to spend a lot of time in your backpack.

a softshell jacket and pants – which are perhaps the ultimate backcountry garments – must also combine warmth with good ventilation and maximal

vapour transport. haglöfs’ backcountry products are a carefully selected mix of well tested materials and well thought-out detailing so that you can enjoy

the best possible comfort on your trip.

Summiting the

five peakS

fac tS par tiSanledenthe partisanleden trail starts at fagernesfjellet in narvik, which is the first peak in a chain of mountains that stretch to the south-east. these peaks are commonly known by their place in the chain, such as andratoppen (Second Summit), tredjetoppen (third Summit) and so on. this trail is generally called partisanleden because it is said that the norwegian resistance used it to be able to secretly observe what was happening in occupied narvik during the Second World War.

the plan was to follow a razor-sharp ridge past five jagged tops and then ski a fantastic line down to the norwegian fjords. But sometimes things don’t quite go the way they were intended.

71h a g l ö f S 10 / 11

We get off the upper lift in narvik’s lift system and are suddenly at the top of fagernesfjellet, more than 1000 metres above sea level. here you are literally above the sea, with norwegian fjords on the three sides of the mountain and high peaks in the fourth and final direction. the city of narvik is wedged in where the mountains meet the sea. We all have some kind of link to the area: manager of the climbing hall, Susanne; ski patroller, Sven; photographer, lasse, and i all call it home and are happy to do so.

Sven points out that it feels strange to start a summit trip by taking a ski lift all the way up, but today this summit is just the start of the trip. fagernesfjellet is the first mountain in a chain of peaks that stretches to the south-east. colloquially, they’re known according to their place in the chain (Second Summit, third Summit and so on). on the map, they mostly have tongue-twisting names in norwegian or Sami. today’s trip will take us up and over the peaks, all the way to the fifth in the chain, which is called Beisfjordtøtta according to the map. it is called partisanleden (the partisan route), because it is said to have been used by norwegian resistance fighters in World War two to clandestinely observe what was happening down in occupied narvik.

We have a long trip in front of us, so we quickly adjust our mindset and our equipment from taking a ski lift to ascending under our own steam. in addition to the usual summiting equip-ment we have crampons, ice axes, climbing rope and harnesses with us. it probably looks pretty extreme to the other ski tourists on the lift. it’s fun to feel a bit cool once in a while, but while we would have liked to avoided the extra weight, the equipment is necessary as some stretches of the route are very steep and exposed. the sunshine is unrelenting and we are a little worried that some areas will become avalanche zones in the increasing warmth. ah well, we’ll deal with that eventually, it’s far too nice a day to cancel the trip before we’ve even started.

We soon leave the first summit behind us. on the way to the second summit we meet up with some acquaintances who are going to test narvik’s famed off piste skiing. together we reflect on the fantastic weather, the astoundingly beautiful surround-ings and our happiness at being precisely here at precisely this time; life is good.

the second summit is a perfect excuse to stop and drink some water. it is also a perfect viewpoint over the off piste area. our entertainment during our break is watching as the skiers

far below us etch curves into the huge, inviting snowfield. as we continue on to the third summit, we pass the place where you can turn your ski tips down into the notorious mørkhålla off-piste route. Just the thought of abandoning a horizontal location for a gradient that seems almost vertical puts butterflies in my stomach. But we are moving on to even greater things – out of the frying pan and into the fire.

the second summit is the emotional threshold of this ad-venture. until now we have followed well-worn paths, with the lifts and the city easily visible in the distance. this is where we and our off piste friends part ways; awaiting them is a pleasant ski back to the lifts and for us there’s a razor-sharp ridge right into the wilderness. With those familiar butterflies in out stom-achs we say goodbye and step across the threshold.

a horizontal line of cliffs is the first real barrier between us and the peaks farther along the ridge. my stomach lurches as we peer over the edge and down at the ridge below us. farther right, Susanne finds a narrow snow passage to a steep snowfield lower down. it feels a like little too much excitement to head down there without any form of safety device, so we arrange a rope that we can use for support when climbing down. actually doing so is problem-free, it’s just like any other normal challenge, as long as you start by problem solving things generally go well.

the fourth summit is halfway to heaven. literally. We have now overcome a significant barrier and feel ready for any chal-lenge, be it large or small. now all that remains is a walk along the ridge to the final summit and then a long downhill ski, about which our imaginations have now built up great expectations.

it is on the way down the steep slope on the other side of the summit that it happens. the strong spring sunshine has

warmed up the slope and the snow feels unpredictable, as we previously suspected but didn’t really want to believe. We can also see large avalanche cones below the slopes farther down. Suddenly, everything that felt so natural now feels so doubtful. We become nervous and look at each other; “what do we do now?” Because one thing is clear, that we have no desire to enter the minefield below us, everyone’s gut is shouting “stop!”. not even stubborn wills and our great expectations for the trip succeed in splitting the group’s unanimity. how won-derful that no one needs to feel singled out for being cowardly or stupid!

the focus on the ridge in front of is replaced by a focus on the available alternatives: returning the same way we came? nah, preferably not. Skiing down to the right? nah, too great an avalanche risk, too complex and too far back to civilisation. Skiing down to the left? perhaps, at least we have a chance of finding good snow and returning to the road. Secured by a rope, Sven heads out to the edge of the ridge and searches for improbable lines down through the steep terrain.

“this looks really good!” we hear after a while. “give over, we don’t believe you!”lasse takes over Sven’s end of the rope to give a second

opinion:“yeah, it actually looks good!”“Stop messing about, now i want to check!” says Susanne.But at the edge, Susanne can see that there is a possible

line between the surrounding cliffs and cornices. great, in spite of everything we hadn’t managed to get ourselves into a dead end with a long hill to climb to get back. our newly-found escape route leads us down many slopes and through beautiful scenery, back to the road where a taxi is waiting for us. it turns out to be an unexpectedly pleasant end to an amputated trip; a fifth summit and a long ski downhill the poorer, but a few experiences richer.

mountaineering it is a challenge to manufacture clothing and equipment for alpine use.

the materials and the technical solutions must work as well on the rock face as they do on the long, sweaty approach and the cold, tired descent.
