A little bit of climbing

2006-02-15T11:21:59Z

These days I work as a manager of e climbing hall in Amsterdam. Besides my work is climbing one of my main interests at the moment. I try to climb/ train at least 4 days a week. This consist of bouldering, route climbing and sometimes a little bit of systematic training.
All this is for climbing outdoors in the real rocks. I climb for about 5 years and I've seen some beautifull places in Europe. Here I will show some places I've been.

Mallorca, one of my first 7A routes

Riglos (Spain), 300 metres of superb climbing (6b+/ 7A A0)

Riglos (look at the people getting on top)

Freyr (Belgium), a 3 hour drive from Amsterdam (7A+)

La Jonte in The Tarn (France), 250 metres of climbing

Fontainebleau (France), The best place for bouldering in Europe (7A)

Fontainebleau, a perfect place for traning and having fun.

]]> These are just some of the beautiful climbing areas I've been the last 4 years.

If you know some places worth of visiting for climbing please tell me.

My name is Rogier Wouters.
I live in Amsterdam and work as a manager of a climbing hall. I'm 29 years old and keep myself fit with climbing, running, skiing and squash.
At this moment in my life climbing is my main sport. I try as much as possible to be in the rocks in France, Spain or somewhere else in Europe.
But besides climbing I really enjoy skiing and making wonderfull trips in the alps and the himalaya.
My next "big" trip will be probably skiing down Mustagh Ata in China. One of the best ski mountains overthere.
For now I will try to climb my first 7c, maybe some longer routes in the alps and doing some tourskiing.
