Very beautiful icefall with a steep start: pay particular attention here if the ice is thin.
Getting there
From Rijukan drive down the first road which from the #37 - heading towards "Norsk industrialbeidermuseum" - leads to some houses located beneath the obvious drips. Access
Park as best possible and continue on foot, past some private houses (ask for permission). Walk for circa 30 minutes to reach the icefalls on the right. Itinerary
P1: Climb up the middle of the compact vertical wall 85° then 90° to where this finished on a wide ledge. Continue directly to a tree, belay.
P2: Climbing directly up from the belay and via easy 75° climbing reach the top of the icefall. Descent
Abseil down the icefall. Gear
Two 60m ropes, full ice climbing rack
