Rjukan Ice Climbing february 2009 - part 1

This winter we decided to go ice climbing somewhere with a 100% chance of ice. OK, ok a 100% would be a little too high but Norway it became nevertheless. Tim suggested Rjukan, where he had climbed a while ago. A cheap flight with Ryan Air would take us cheap and fast to the land of the long, long winter.

Specially after our disastrous experiences in Scotland and Austria we decided a climbing area a bit more northern and easterly would be best. And to give us the best of luck and even better circumstances my daughter gave me her mouse as a mascotte (see pic above).
