The Mighty Stetind! |
On July 7th the Sun came out with full force in Northern Norway and I guided 6 clients up the world class Alpine Ridge Climb: South East Ridge of Stetind (Norwegian 4+, US 5.7). Johanna Stålnacke worked with me to lead a strong group of 6 from Trondheim up this iconic peak. Conditions were perfect and we all enjoyed the trip to the fullest. I have climbed Stetind once before by the more challenging South Pillar Route (Norwegian 6, US IV 5.10) and jumped at the chance to get back on this amazing peak. Thanks to everyone who climbed Stetind with Northern Alpine Guides! Enjoy the Pictures:

This is the start of the climbing on the S.E. Ridge of Stetind. The Route descends a few hundred meters before climbing back up the exposed granite ridge seen here. |
"Au Cheval" climbing right from the start. Classic and Exposed. Fun. |
