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!


Me on some random climb

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 :)
