Styggbratt

I have learned a new norwegian word which I really love. Styggbratt. I think it's my new favourite word! Today we went to Leknes to pick up Gunnar and then we met up with Martin at Akkarvika, just before Reine to climb some ice. You could see two lines in the valley and we decided for the right one. The approach was 30 minutes. It was a beautiful day and the ice was really good. Today I climbed with Andreas and I was leading all the four pitches. We started pretty late today so after descent we had our packed lunch and then it was getting darker.
