Gustav is a danish man with a moustache and no hair who realy likes climbing and dairy products- hence why he lives in Norway.
Tricky conditions so we headed to Hemsedal, which seems to hold on to the cold temperature for longer. We chose to go for one of the classic mixed routes on Skurvefjell, Gustav said it would go even with the unconsolidated snow covering, i was a little less conviced but decided to keep an open mind to what climbers here describe as "in condition."
The poor van drove us as close as was sensible and then a bit further before the three of us slept in the back and awoke at 6am to walk in in the dark.
The approach relay atmospheric. The glow in the background is actually the ski centre.
Gustav lead an alternative line on the last pitch with I though must have been bloody tricky!
Calum topping out.
here is a little video Calum made.
