April 2021 - Ten days in Costa Rica, probably the most beautiful country I have been to. I went there with my older son and his girlfriend. April 2021 was in the middle of the global covid-19 crisis, but Costa Rica was fully open and seemed to manage the crisis very well. Back in Denmark... Continue Reading →
February 2020 - Together with my 13 years old son Troels I went off for Guatemala to climb as many volcanoes as possibly within two weeks.

Pictures from a stunning trip to Ecuador together with my son Søren. Our goal was to climb the volcanoes Iliniza Norte, Pasachoa, Rucu Pichincha, Cotopaxi and Chimborazo (furthest point from the center of the earth). Only the top of Chimborazo (6310 meters) wasn't reached as we had to return 600 meters from the top because... Continue Reading →
Just after Christmas 2013, my son and I flew to Tanzania with the goal of climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro in seven days. We ended up doing so in five days, last day we descended all the way from top of Africa and back to civilization, 4,000 meters down in one day's hike (and skipping the last... Continue Reading →
In July 2013, the very day after getting down from Mt. Rainier, my son and I climbed Mt. St. Helens. Easy climb, truly magnificent hike.
