Ozzimosis

Day 2 was spent on good ice at Ozzimosis.
After a slightly late start we arrived at the Crag high on the side of the Rjukan valley. Splitting up across the Crag, all of us quickly found good ice, across a whole variety of grades, with most of the members working a few grade WI4 routes, while a few lead the 2's and 3's on offer.

Its clear that the ice is good & solid this week, particularly up at these higher crags, so hopefully we'll get plenty more great ice in this week.


Gaz & Martin headed out this evening for a late attempt at Svingfoss,  and after a long and cold fight while the others enjoyed pizza, they returned triumphant

Day 1 - Speed Climbing

We arrived in Rjukan at 4am in our 4 matching Rent-a-Wreck cars, so had a slow start this morning,  exploring some crags, getting involved in the Ice festival,  and watching the Speed Climbing.

Some how,  Matt, Bryn & Dan ended up entering the speed climbing competition, with Bryn even making it through to the second round, and Matt losing by a hair!

American Nick, Ben, Sabine & PeeBee have arrived, so let the Party Start!!

The Ice is looking good, and psyche is high for climbing tomorrow - with a trip to Ozzimosis planned. Whoop Whoop!
