Ready, steady, slow

Day one in the Norwegian ice box. As airports go, Oslo Airport is an appealing one. However, its relaxing ambience and Scandinavian architecture of lusterious expanses of wood and glass do not warrant an extra six and half hours of lounging. After a longer journey than usual, we finally tucked in to the Rjukan wendy houses.

Climbing at Krokan today was perfect - friendly but freezing temperatures, very 'fat' ice (it grows so quickly!) friendly, rope-sharing climbers, and most surprisingly, blue sky and sunshine that touched down.  Between leaping into deep, deep snow, seal launching and other snow-focused play, we climbed the ice.
