A 17-year-old climber and entrepreneur in Karlstad, Gustaf Alström, has found a way to reuse discarded climbing ropes by transforming them into belts and key rings. He sources the ropes through climbing groups on social media, with some sending them to him and covering shipping costs. Gustaf won this year's edition of the Värmland UF fair and was awarded in four other competition categories, and he will participate in the national championship for young entrepreneurship in Stockholm at the end of May.
