Lofoten

Last week, me, Martin, Kristin and Vibeke went to Lofoten to do some trad climbing. Great place, great fun, but a little bit to much rain :)

First day we tried climb to the peak Vågakallen since the weather was horrible. However, it was to bad to get up. Steep scrambling in rain and lot of mist didn't really work... Us with the peak in the background.

First day with climbing we went to Paradis, to do some single pitches. Here is Martin following me on a nice little crack called Center crack.

Me and Martin climbed Piano teacher Lunds route. In the background it The Priest, which is 600m granite up from sea. I would really really like to climb it, but im not really good enough with cracks and slab... Anyone wanna lead it for me?

There is a lot of tourists in Lofoten. Here is some busses looking at the Gandalf wall, and all the climbers camping bellow.... Me and Vibeke really wanted to climb Gandalf on Gandalf wall, but last day went we finally got our courage up, it was raining... Next time!

Me and Kristin climbed Bare Blåbær, 7 pitches (Only blueberries, a saying meaning Piece of cake, but translated as Only Bilberries in the guide...). This is Kristin on pitch 5, a straigh crack getting narrower and narrower and nothing else, FUN! :) Btw, this is actually at 10pm or something, sun still shining! Got to love the midnight sun!

Vibeke and a Canadian guy climbing Bare Blåbær, 4th pitch, at 1am while me and Kristin is abseiling down.

A plant me and Kristin bought in Svolvær to decorate outside the tent and late evening sun :)
