NEWSLETTER ØKRE-EN

NEWSLETTER ØKRE

Not every newsletter is a catalogue.

Once a week, sometimes twice, we dust off the typewriter.

We look for stories from the world of adventure that are worth telling. Some happened on big routes. Others never came anywhere near one.

What interests us is what’s going on underneath. And poking around the hypothalamus a little.

The fear before setting off. What goes through the mind of someone heading out alone on an expedition. Why hunger disappears at 8,000 metres. What science can explain, what it still can’t, and the occasional oddity that doesn’t fit neatly into any category.

Mountaineering, endurance, climbing, cycling, expeditions, food, and people doing things that, from the outside, don’t always look particularly well thought through.

Even if you’ve never climbed K2 and have absolutely no intention of doing so, some of these stories will hit closer to home than you think.

Sign up. Give it a try.

If the seasoning’s not quite right, you can always skip the second helping.
