I am just back from sportclimbing in Catalunya on my way to Greenland. I had mainly bouldered throughout the whole winter so it was a nice transition to get back on the rope and get fit before hitting bigger walls in Greenland.

As his last bit of training before his expedition to Baffin Island, Nico climbed some multi-pitch routes in the Ratikon, Switzerland with Polish Adam Pustelnick. The pair didn’t wait long to try the very famous route Silbergeier 8b 200m . And after some trouble with weather conditions and the route being partly wet, Nico managed a quick repeat of the route, 3rd day on the climb despite getting rained on the last pitch and very cold temperatures.
