Anthony ”Andy” Gullsten

Andy Gullsten is one of those super strong climbers who often operate just under the radar. Quiet and low key, he is none the less one of the best boulderers out there, with both 8C and 9a under his belt.

Recently, he managed to make the first flash ascent of King of limbs, ~8B/+, in Rocklands, South Africa.

The interview was done in Helsiniki, Finland, in May, but I don't think it's too dated.

Hope you enjoy it!

Born: December 20, 1991
From: Helsinki, Finland
