The wake-up call

I came home from Nepal at the end of October filled with an emotional cocktail of exhaustion, confusion and relief. I spent the first few weeks at home in Sweden together with my family, my immediate HACE symptoms quickly went away and I was even able to start training a little bit: some trail running, strength training and indoor climbing.

The story of how I got HACE

It was the October 24th. Not even two weeks ago as I’m writing this. It feels like another lifetime. I was in Nepal to climb Himlung Himal 7126 m, and although I knew already beforehand that things rarely go as planned on expeditions, I was of course hoping that I would finally get to stand on the summit of my first 7000 m peak.
