My first outdoor rock climb - helt rå!

We followed the path from the cemetery, straight up and a little to the left of the goat. A few big and wet rocks, quite a messy path as it’s had been raining quite heavily the previous few days. A little bit of scrambling in a few places but soon enough we were at the top. There was 6 other Norwegians, all planning to climb the 1910 route. We took the direct route - nice climbing and I found enough good hand and feet grips, but we had to use a rope ladder to get up the first 2/3 meters. A beautiful view from the top, though it started sleeting as soon as I got to the top so we came down quite quickly. Definitely won’t be my last climbing trip, Takk for turen uglefisk (Paal Andre Lund)!
