Granite in sunny Sweden
After some great days of skitouring the weather deteriorated and we considered our options for the next few days. Bohus Län could offer a 4-5 days with quite high temperatures and quite sunny weather. A beautiful 6- at Galgeberget.

Det finns också otroligt många fina linjer i området som ännu ej har blivit bestigna, så potentialen för nya turer är enorm. Nya turer, fina daga
