On saturday we met up at Kalle for the first day of course with Jan Erik who is part of the alpine rescue team. It was a beautiful day and in the afternoon we could also see other members having an exercise at "Vågarisset" with the helicopter. But during this the helicopter were called in for another mission so they had to finish themselves and lower down quite a lot of pitches. But then they have a lot longer ropes than normal (which is 60 m). But still it takes a lot of time to get down. Then everyone left. Me and Cody are staying. Me in the tent and Cody in his van. It was an unusually calm evening without wind. We made a campfire. Day two it was white outside and still snowing a bit. But it only lasted until 10 when the others arrived.
