Martin W Svensson He started to ski in the ice climbing Mecca Rjukan in Norway 1976. Given that it's no wonder that he developed into one of Swedens topp extreme skier. He have competed in the Nordic Championship in extreme skiing, climbed 5.13 and done big walls in the state. No need to say that he's pretty allround and good at what he's doing.

Peter "Calle-P" Engström Based in Kiruna and Abisko Calle-P have spent the last decade climbing and skiing in Sweden. He also has a significant number of big walls under his belt, e.g. Mescalito on El Cap in Yosemite. Since he now is dropping out of his career as a laywer to guide full time we are more than happy to have him on board.
