In sweden the summer is long gone and autum is here, the time for the indoorgyms have started. In the rest of europe and big parts of rest the world the season has just started. Temperature is dropping and making it perfect for climbing again. The summermonths has been good but not as good as others, we do hope we will see more hard accents and loads more nice pictures from now on! Here are the most inspiring and best voted pictures from August, enjoy!
