Soon after the first climbing event in Stockholm at Münchenbryggeriet, Angie invited me for the second meetup- the afterwork climbing at Tantoberget (south of Stockholm). I somehow managed to join the group after finishing-up my classes.
This climbing event was a special one for me- I had my first fall here! Almost 12+ ft. of fall, which caused a few bruises on arms and shoulder. My head was saved from the impact because I had my helmet on (I always use a helmet). I can now say that my helmet, from Rock Empire, is tested :)

The crags in Tantoberget or 'Tanto' as it is usually called, can be reached from Zinkensdamm or Hornstull T-bana (metro).
"If you aren't falling, you aren't trying hard enough". The fall is like a transition step in climbing which signifies advancement to next level. There are a lot of articles on the internet on 'How to fall', 'The Art of falling' etc. I highly recommend reading those articles and then you might escape the fall with a minor injuries. This article covers quite some good points-to-ponder.
