Stryn

Since me and Vibeke are off to Australia on our climbing/backpacking/whatever cool we comeup with trip in just one short month we had to make a little test run for our big trip. (Or we just wanted a bad excuse to go somewhere cool and do something fun :) Anyway, last weekend we went to Stryn, mainly to climb at the crag Bølgen&Beachen (the wave and the beach...).

The weatherforecast looked horrible, it was supposingly going to poor down the whole weekend. We descided to go anyway with the philosophy that a climbing trip and sleeping outdoor is fun no matter the weather! Since the norwegian weather is incorrigibly unstable, this philosophy is bound to at some point turn out to your advantage, for us this weekend! It was well above 20 degrees and sun the whole time! We got in some good climbing, concluded we suck on slab climbing and walked northern europes longest upphill slope (Skåla 1848 m up from the fjord)

The whole cracg is perfect because its a huge overhang like a roof above all the climbs, so its always dry!

One of the most pouplar warm up climbs was Nøtteliten, it started with climbing up a tree and everybody walked around humming the song for the rest of the day...


On the top off Skåla, Jostedalen glacier (continental euorpes biggest) in the background.


Because of the overhanging roof, we could just sleep under the crag :)

Eresfjorden

Last weekend in June, me and Martin went to the cabin in Eresfjorden. The goal was to go on Juratind (1712m). We almost got to the top, but went up the wrong ridge, so we turned around just before the top. The trip was however awesome anyway, and we got to go back another time and get to the top! On sunday, we took a little road trip, and drowe through Romsdalen to climb a little on the way home.

Martin in the boat crossing Eikesdalesvatnet. A lokal farmer drive you over if you ask. He is however not to punctual :) Juratind in the background.

Just before turning around. With all the climbing gear we didnt get far enough to use :) On the way down we here followed by sheeps, I suspect it was mutated killer sheeps like in the NZ movie Black sheeps.

Picknic on Dovre on the way back. We stopped on the way in Romsdalen to, and climbed on a place we didn't find last time I was there, and that we used quite a while finding this time too...

Painting

As I moved into Mariannes room after I graduate, I decided to paint it. Only demand from Marianne for doing this was before, during and after pictures. So, here they finally are! :)

Ofcourse, painting alone is incredibly boring, so I needed some slaves. Here is slave one, Martin.

Slave two, Christer.
And slave three, Mari, who also is my new flatmate. And my fourth slave was little Hege :)

Well, the living room didnt really look to nice with all my stuff in it.... But its impressive I can fit everything in so few bags and boxes!

The wall as it was, and with one layer pain.
After, I'm quite satisfied!
