Norwegian alpine start

This week I was working overtime every day until 7 pm so I've been pretty tired but finally it's saturday and time for fun. Sometimes things don't go according to my plans so that's why this day started a bit late. I took the first bus to Leknes at 9 am to meet Jonn who arrived already 3 hours ago. We hired a car and finally drove off to Ytre Skjelfjorden. It was almost 1 pm until we were ready to go up the mountain.  We were making an attempt for Stjerntinden but it seems like we managed to climb another peak just next to it? Anyway we had fantastic conditions, weather and surroundings. Jonn managed do lose one of his gloves on the second pitch but luckily I had an extra pair with me. We abseiled down and went all the way down Skjådalen to find his glove. We actually did find it and then we ran into a deep, deep, deep bergschrund but we tied into the rope and managed to jump over. We came down just after 9 pm, found ourselves a good spot nearby and pitched the tent. Then it was time for dinner and the cozy sleepingbag...

Getting ready.

Heading up.

Still going upwards.

We climbed up here and it's beautiful.

Lovely up here.

Time to abseil.

Heading down...

all this way to find the glove and we did!

Scary bergschrund.

It's getting late...
