If you use this blog, please leave a comment - we'd love to know if people are finding it useful! And if you climb something we haven't, then let us know too (we'll probably want to climb it next time we are here).
In 2017 we returned to Lyngen, and have now updated the blog for that area. Not least, in separating Kåfjord into two pages - this valley alone offers a fortnight of world class climbing!
While this blog concentrates on the Lyngen area, we've included some information for Senja, Spansdalen and Sørdalen from our visit in 2012. These areas are more comprehensively covered elsewhere on the internet but the information we've provided should give a good idea of what's out there.
We have included updates from Ian Parnell and friends' trip in 2013, as featured in Climb magazine - get hold of a copy! More can be seen on Ian's blog. Thanks to Ian for providing info and photos.
We hope you find this site a useful introduction to ice climbing in Northern Norway.

Thanks for the blog. Your information and photos have been helpful to us climbing in Lyngen and Kåfjord. The maps and descriptions are on point. Only that it's distracting people coming here and making their epic "first ascents" and naming the lines as they please. I may post my pictures sometimes somewhere to to help others.
