After a hectic few days travelling back to Scotland for a job interview, I returned to Sogndal to find things had changed- A week of unusually cold weather had brought winter to the valley. Im always amazed how quickly the seasons progress here, totally transforming the landscape and swapping recreational opportunities. I was less than an hour off the plane and already I was having photos of local ice falls shoved in front of me and being told we were going ice climbing in the morning.
The venue was 15 minutes drive from my house, crampons whent on at the van and after 20 minutes walking on the frozen river we arrived at the base of the 120m frozen cascade.
(I realy like Norway!)
Another team ahead of us.
Myself leading up the first pitch- learing quickly about climbing a totally new medium. I realy need to sharpen my axes!
Calum looking for steeper sections.
