Store Venjetinden 1852 m

Last Saturday made for a great day in the mountains. We started of at the brake of dawn, and hoped that the snow conditions would be good to us.

We were planning to do the Normal route up the North side of Store Venjetind.

The day came creeping up on us as we slowly made it up the mountain side. We soon changed our line, involving more rock and less snow. In the back, Romsdalshornet and the Troll wall is getting ready to receive the morning sun.

The line becoming more interesting with a steeper angle and a mix of snow and ice.

At a point were the slabs were covered in a thin layer of loose snow, and we were forced back out on the Normal route.

As the day light faded, we made out way back down on the Normal route. We had to turn around 150 m short of the summit, but it will be there the next time.
