Hey Brad
just got back on sunday. conditions were really good while we were there. Lower gorge routes accessable as river is mostly frozen (need care at the start of one or two routes). Ice in general is fat but was quite brittle in some places as its been quite cold, specially in the lower gorge and also at the very end of the upper gorge. vemork bridge routes are in and in really good condition. Ozzimosis seemed on the wet side most of our stay. Some folks went to Mael but found the ice conditions difficult and had a bit of an epic climbing back out. rjukan centre routes in, but the sunny side of the valley routes are getting the sun now and probably not doable for much longer.
Oh, and if youre using Heavy Water, apply caution to the "one pitch" claims for some of the routes in the Lower Gorge. If they look on the "too long for a single pitch" side from below, they probably are!
