Climbing resources
Short
introduction
My climbing career started when I was five years old when my parents –
also climbers – took me to
disliked it. I liked it because it was something no-one else at school was
doing it (in those days not many people were into climbing) but I disliked it
because I was not very good at it:
grown-ups, who were tall, could reach to ledges and handholds I could only
dream of…
However I held on and as I got older I started to enjoy climbing more, although
I never really got ‘good’ at it in the sense that I could do really difficult
routes. Even after becoming a
rock climbing instructor in 1991 my approach to climbing remained the same:
it’s not about what you climb, but about the experiences, enjoying nature and
having a good time.
The rock climbing disciplines I’m into are (semi-)alpine rock climbing, sport
climbing, bouldering and (not really climbing but related) klettersteige/via
ferrata.

Reports about climbing trips
(Dutch).
Informatie klimmen zuidereiland Nieuw-Zeeland
Information about climbing on the South Island of New Zealand (Dutch)
(PDF): places to climb, protection, guidebooks, etc.
Topo bouldermuur
A guidebook to my home bouldering wall (Dutch) (PDF): 15 boulders and
numerous variants, ranging from tiny
2-movement-boulders to full-fling
I like to think of it as a testament of what you can do if you have a room to
spare. My wall includes vertical faces, two overhangs (varying angles), a roof,
a corner, crack and chimney.
Materiaallijst
List that I use to store information about my gear (Dutch) (Excel 2003).
I use this to maintain (clean, inspect)
and scrap gear.
