Just over here doing my part to make instagram more about learning and sharing knowledge and less about… whatever else it’s about. I try to help you make better choices about equipment, show you some interesting techniques that might come in handy one day and just generally help you on your journey of discovery within mountain sports.
Thanks for following along! I really do appreciate all of you!
P.s I’m always open to suggestions of content you want to see here or over on my YouTube (which you should definitely subscribe to if you’re not already). Drop me a note or leave a comment with what you want to see!
See you out there 😎

Training for ski mountaineering. A very complex subject that I admit I’m probably not the best person to talk about. However I do have a reasonable amount of experience and knowledge to share which is why I made a longer video over on my YouTube channel as part of my project @thegrandskitour.
The video is sponsored by @corosglobal (who make the best watches for training) and in it I run through my approach to training and some of my tricks and tips to make sure you’re putting in the right amount of work and getting out results you are happy with. See you over there! #skiing #training #skimountaineering

Pt.1 | @davejsearle tries Oak 2.0 😅

Although we weren’t blessed with the best of conditions whilst we were in Norway, we still had the best time! One thing I’ve always found with ski mountaineering is you just have to keep showing up until you get the conditions that you’re after. You can still have fun and learn loads with the showing up, but you can’t expect to have splitter conditions every single time.
We now have a much better idea of what the best Ski mountaineering descent on the Lyngen Peninsula are and we’re excited about getting a chance to head back there this spring…

An episode for the gear nerds. 🤓⛏️
On episode 4 of the Oak Podcast, @smileysproject and @davejsearle (arguably the biggest gear nerds in the scene) come together to discuss inventing ski gear in the garage - from rescue tarps, Dyneema ski bungees, and tool repair kits - and how they manage risk in big terrain.
Available now on all platforms. Link in @oak_app bio 👀
PS: Tom was absent for this episode, as the gear talk was too nerdy for him. 😆

Skinning when it’s bulletproof icey spring snow feels quite sketchy! Definitely something that deserves slot of respect and often it’s overlooked compared to worrying about avalanche hazard for example.
1. Don’t forget your ski crampons!
2. Use them but don’t go to too steep.
3. Use a lower heal raise to give more traction. (Forgot to mention this in the video!)
4. Skin out of the track! More traction can be found in the pole marks for example.
5. Don’t lean forward. You’re Gona unpeal yours skins like that!
6. Push up with your poles.
7. Don’t dance and skin!

Episode 7 part 1 of @thegrandskitour is live! Norway is a special place for ski mountaineering. Figuring out what the best objectives are is no mean feat. It may take years to finalise the list but this spring we started that process. Chatting to local ski guide @finnkhovem was a good start. Watch the full episode on my YouTube channel now.

Here’s some training load stats from @thegrandskitour so far. Put it in the bank 💪

Remember when I had my big scary crash last spring and thought I was tumbling towards Mordor? Well we were actually filming that day for an episode on @davesearle’s series @thegrandskitour . And now it’s out oh boy! So if you want to see me crying on a mountain again on YT (seems to be my lot in life ping @nikolaischirmer), but most importantly watch us take on a really cool two day ski tour — you know where to find it🍿
PS six months later my butt is still half blue lol
