"Two days in the wild is better than one day in the wild."

ANTHONY GULLSTEN

Bio


Andy is a passionate Finnish climber, traveler and route setter. He has been climbing for the past ten years and hopes to continue to do so for quite some time. He has had the opportunity to visit many places, but there are still many that he would like to see and explore. Travel is a constant in his life, but travelling would have no meaning if there were not for friends or family to share his experiences with.
He focuses essentially on bouldering and sport climbing, but he would like to climb trad routes and big walls too. He just needs to find the time! He takes part in National and International competitions. He is always amazed at how many new problems there are to be found in competition routes. In climbing he seeks the correct balance between movements, aesthetics and difficulty.
The last projects sent by Anthony are The Big Island 8C in Fontainebleau and Hyper Act 8C.

It was the good old Miura!

Still trying to find my limits in climbing!
