Wilhelmstind

Off we go.

One can see Værøy in the background.

Heading up.

Time for harness and helmets.

Summit 385 m.

Lovely view. Can you see my tent?

We found a sea eagle nest up here.

Enjoying the view.

Discovery trip around part of the island.

After we set up camp we had some lunch and then we went to Wilhelmstind, the highest point at the island. There was a short section where we used rope, some of us would have no problem without but many had never climbed before so we went for safety first. Weather was marvellous today, almost to good to be true.  Three of us went up to a second peak shortly after but I've lately overstrained my knee so I went down to the tent to lay in the sun with a beer, some cheese and crackers enjoying the last part of "Tinder og Banditer" (Peaks and Bandits) about Alf B Bryn's adventures in Corsica in 1909. Later Andreas came down and he was a bit tired so we made some coffee before heading off for a discovery trip along the coast. We found a cave! Then Bjørn Harald and Stig joined us.
