Ice climbing in Abisko

We returned from our trip to north of Sweden almost a week ago but there are still a few things worth writing about.


One of the fun activities we did in Abisko was ice climbing. Our climbing instructor Klaus explained us everything and after putting on all necessary equipment we were ready to go.


We climbed on a frozen waterfall in a canyon in the Abisko national park. The scenery was really amazing. I have some photographic material for making a 360 degree panorama which I will hopefully publish soon.


Climbing on ice not very difficult. Some of us didn't have any prior climbing experience (indoor or outdoor) but that was not really a problem. According to our instructor we did quiet well for tourists/beginners.


I was huge fun although pretty exhausting. It was getting dark very soon (around 2pm) so had to climb with headlamps at the end.

You can find some more photos at nuolja.se. Thanks Benny!
