Endelig, siste 1000m topp på Kvaløya i boksen! :)
The normal route looked like a real pain, with lots of on again - off again with skis, so Martine decided the most effective way up would be the best. After walking around 20 mins with our skis on our back, we reached the start of the snow felt and skinned up to the gully. Here I realized my ice axe wasn't attached to my backpack, which added a few extra meters of elevation. Won´t make that mistake again! From here skis went on the packs and we booted up the gully. From the top of the gully we headed towards the top. Incredible 360 degree views!
Nice slush on the way down, with a bit of luggeføre, and nice slush halfway down the gully, but it became icier as it got narrower. From here we down climbed the narrowest section of the gully, before putting skis back on for the last of the decent, and then walking out to the road.
Tusen takk for en artig og spennende tur, Martine! :)
