Blog: Back from Patagonia and VIDEO: Alex Schweikart – 7b Crack – Couteray

January 6, 2014jackgeldardBlogNo comments

I’ve just got back from a 3 week trip to Patagonia in South America. More pictures, videos and info to come from that trip. Suffice to say we had a great time, but terrible weather!

The last few days back in Chamonix have been excellent, with blue skies and great skiing with Emily.

Whilst I was away in Patagonia I had a lot of time to spend on my laptop, but no internet connection. I used my time to work on video filming and editing skills (thanks Matt Pycroft!) and have a couple of short videos to put up on here from old footage and lots of ideas and skills for new videos for this year.

The first of the archive material is German powerhouse Alex Schweikart on a 7b roof crack at Couteray in Vallorcine, France. I shot this in the spring of 2011! If only I knew then what I know now. Anyway, here it is, I hope Alex enjoys it.

Big HELLO! to Alex and Chrissi wherever they may be!

More videos and articles from Patagonia to come soon – ciao.
