Kristiansund

Sunday, May 11th, 2008

Kvitnes fort in kristiansund is an idyllic place close to the ocean. Sun comes in the afternoon and stays till late. If it’s to hot you can take a swim to cool down :-) The last years there have been a huge activity on putting up new routs. Because of that there is now a lot of routs to chose between, for beginners to climbers with more experience

Skiri

Saturday, May 10th, 2008

Skiri has some of the best bouldering in “The wally”. I hadn’t been there for almost two years now, and it was so fun to be back.. To be here in spring is just amazing!!!! The trees starts getting green, the rivers are big. Still a lot of snow in the mountains :-) and the birds are singing constantly. WOW!!
Romsdalen must be one of the best places in the world to be right

Nesjestranda ( Presthammarn )

Saturday, May 10th, 2008

“Presthammarn” is a beautiful little crag on Nesjestranda. It has some nice steep classics and some fun bouldering. Because of the steepness you can climb there all year round.
This was an unusual day. Normally you can have the hole cliff by your self, but today a lot of people where gathering :-) Marte Kjøpstad also put up two new routs.. Good job.

Here is Johannes on one of his projects for the summer, “Korstog”. The route is like a ten meeter “font” problem. SLOPY :-) Johannes is a super enthusiastic climber, who has improved his skills a lot last year.

Ingvild and Arnt Eriks wedding

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

Last weekend maja´s good friend from childhood, Ingvild, got married whit Arnt Erik. It was an absolute perfect day, and the couple were walking around with a huge smile the hole day. Congratulation Ingvild and Arnt Erik! I was really exited about the opportunity to get some nice picture of the wedding. In the church I was stressed out because the light was terrible, and I had to push my camera to the limit. After the ceremony I had to sit down and relax because I was totally exhausted…..
I don’t think I can remember anything from the ceremony, but I got some good pictures :-) There was another photographer for the “normal wedding shot”, but during the coffee I got them outside for a quick night session, and I think the pictures turned out to be great!!!
Thanks for a great day and a lot of fun. Remember to click on the pictures to view them larger

Juratind

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

Frode and I have been talking about Juratind for such a long time now. Seven years ago we almost reached the top, but ran out of time and had to go down.. So every winter we have been talking about that next spring we should go. That trip was also the trip I decided to buy a split board. I remember following frode in my snowshoe’s, sweating… Watching him cruising up the steep hills on his split board. For those who doesn’t now. Split board is a snowboard that you can split in half. You walk up on a pair of skis, and on the top you put it back into a snowboard:-)
Normally it’s not so many people visiting Juratind, but today there was a lo of people heading that way. Lucky for us. At the top we got a lot of fog, and couldn’t se more than five-six meters in front of us. Without the track to follow we would have been forced the go down.
