One of the lecturers at the University told me about a lesser known mountain crag in the Ustadal valley. Myself Calum and two of Calum's strange french PHD student friends took potentially the last opportunity to go rock climbing in the mountains.
We walked up to a small cabin arriving just before darkness on Friday evening.
I LOVE NORWEGIAN CABINS! what a fantastic resource for anyone looking to spend as much time as possible in the mountains.
In the morning we looked for the crag. The temperature difference from the shaded areas to the sunny aspects was very stark.
We picked our sunny spot and went for it.
The climbing reminded me a lot of the Cairngorms, similar mixture of slabs and corner cracks left over from the last glacial period. In the background we could hear the glaciers cracking.
