Most inspiring pictures of February

Time goes by, the days gets longer and the season for climbing (even for peoples like me in Sweden) is getting closer. This might be the best pictures we have ever published on 8a.nu. I hope you will find some inspiration to go to the gym before the outdoor-season is here big time ;). Remember that a short story or good info about your picture will increase your chances of being published in this article! Also check out the old articles: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December and January-09.

Eduard Marin from Spain on a 8c+ Millau in France. Eduard is one of the strongest out there climbing hard routes. He is ranked third in Spain and 12th in the world with a few 9a.s as his best. A new season is coming up and i bet we will See much more hard accents later this year!
