First Danish ascent of Vettisfossen, Norway

Posted on March 9, 2010 at 4:37 AM

This weekend Martin Ploug and I climbed the famous Vettisfossen in Utladalen, Norway. It has the highest free fall (275m) of any water fall in Scandinavia and is one of the most diffucult ice climbs here in part because it rarely forms.


Steep and funky ice.



Impressive and scary at the same time!



Hanging belay after the first overhanging pitch where the pillar is broken in half.


There is a video of a previous ascent here:
