In early September 2022, we jumped on the night train towards the mountains of Jämtland with only light running packs on our backs. The route was planned ahead, crossing between mountain huts carrying only some extra clothes and band-aids. The goal was to keep a fast pace and climb as many peaks as we could on our way. Did we succeed on any of it? Nah.
