Last night saw what sounded like a hurracaine passing through the valley. Woke up in the night to the bathroom window trying to exit the building. Bit of a late start today due to a long hard day on Sabotørfossen, anyway up un ready to go. Looking out of the window, looks like the trees are Ballet dancing on the valley sides. The intended target today was Sykehusfossen above the hospital, but things looked pretty wild up there today. We took the decision to run this route another day, don't fancy been blown around when we can do it another day.
So plan B, plan B is on its way, just need to work it out.
Ok plan B is head up to the lower gorge and climb some routes.
Lower gorge, not how we left it last year eh cliff. I think someone replaced the river with one that flows.
Broke back crag, eh Cliff.
Oh those wild days,
Ok, back on track.
This ain't gonna let us cross,with ease, nope it ain't havin none of it. We're off, back up the amazingly long long hill. The upside is some really nice person has put a notted line from top to bottom which makes the pain a whole lot better.
Plan C is hatching as we roll down the road back to town. We head off to the Svadda area to try and salvage the day, ok let's not. Wind wind, now snow and I think a bit of rain mixed into it. Car grinds to a halt with the reality of Ozzimossis being the only option left, for me its a tough one as I am not a fan of crowds and it's Saturday which means only one thing, guides un crowds of people.
Cool, heading up to Ozzy we round the corner. Ok it looks good, one car,two car,three car oh no VW van long wheel base. Ok well have to dump the car further up the rd due to NO PARKING left.
Up and over the crash barrier and down into the woods, people power. Yep it's pretty crowded, quite a few groups here today. We head over towards the left of the upper crag and run the first route of the day, great route at around WI3. We bag another two routes further left WI3 un 4s.
Deans flexing on a nice bit of thin ice.
I bagged a cracking route with some great moves on super chewy ice. A bit of dishing here and there, but overall good ice.
Before we head down to the lower section of Ozzimossis dean fancies a bash on a tricky slab with super thin ice at the start.
We finished off buy dropping down into the lower section and leading a great route, bit dishy but good solid climbing.
Back to the hut and the aquasition of our super sized pizza for four at the special sat price deal of 50% off. So we went for the all on pizza, all on it was. Wow what a pizza, mega massive and mega tastey.
Oops, not much left.
So, we will have to see what tommorrow brings.
