Steep ice and sunshine!







Today Simon, Paul and I headed for Rjukan centre and climbed Tjonnstadbergfossen (WI4) which gives four big long pitches above Rjukan town centre. It was a brilliant route with big belay ledges, steep water ice with a nice coating of snow ice on the top, nearly 200m of climbing, 10 minute walk in and 4 big abseils of descent. It is also South facing and so we could climb in the sun which is warm enough to be pleasant without being dangerous! A fantastic day in wonderful weather on nice squeeky ice.  Thanks to the boys for the nice photos!
