Swedish action in Alaska

Its not often I get psyched by Swedish alpinism but boy this time I'm super psyched. Magnus Kastengrean and Andreas Fransson pulled off a 33 hour accent of the huge Cassin Ridge on Denali and it included a 9h bivy. That's a top notch achievement by any standards. On top of that Fransson managed to ski a huge part of the South Face of Denali a few days before.

Magnus on a cold day in Chamoinx, January 2011

The new speed record set the same day by UK Climber Will Sim and John Griffith shaved of about 20 min from Mugs Stumps old record.
