In reply to Cliff Lowther:
Thanks for letting us know the state of things, Cliff. Your blog has been a good source of information on Rjukan conditions.
We got out on our first day today. First to arrive at Krokan, just before loads of top ropers arrived and took over every icefall. But they all disappeared after 12. A mystery.
Had been expecting wet ice from the YR.NO. Forecast but were pleasantly surprised to find all climbs in, and in good condition. Quite a lot of snow fell during the day. Rucksacks kept getting covered with snow suggesting about 3 inches fell today. We are unlikely to go anywhere tomorrow where there's much of a walk-in.
Today we did Bullen, unknown climb, Kjokkentrappa, Tannpirkeren and Topp. A good day.
We were only feet away from an avalanche a little while ago. It was a mass of snow sliding off the roof of our cabin. Made quite a noise when it went!!!!
