Arrival (Date Time TBC) Arrive at Tromso Airport and meet the team. Then drive 2 hrs to the Viking Cabins and get settled into your accommodation, sort kit and plan the coming days climbing.

The week will be arranged to suit the prevailing conditions and abilities of the team but could involve the program below.

Day 1

This will be a warm up day as travel through the local village Lyngseidet to an icefall near Rottenvik. On the journey of approximately 10km we will see many of the impressive ice falls which will inspire us for later in the week. This day is all about checking equipment and skills required, lots of climbing that will allow us to relax and move efficiently onto steeper ice. Climbs of around 40m WI 3-5 with possible multi pitch depending on conditions and experience.

Day 2-4

We will look at climbing the local icefalls around Lyngspollen/ Pollfjellet/ Oksen and Oksefjellet either walking from the Viking cabins or a short drive with walk in’s of around 1hr to the routes. The routes will be multi-pitch in the range of 100 -300m and grades WI4/5. The views down the Fjords are amazing, and on a clear day we can see across to Finland’s highest point Halti.

Day 5-6

Now we are climbing more efficiently, we can start exploring some of the steeper or longer multi pitch routes with a drive of around 1 hour to visit Tamokdalen/ Signaldalen/ Nordjosboten or across the fjord on the ferry to Olderdalen. There are so many possibilities that we will have fun choosing our objectives.

Day 7

Drive back to Tromso depending on flight times this maybe an early start or later flights will enjoy a walk around Tromso and visit the Polar Museum.
