Arctic Ice Climbing - 93 Ice Climbing Routes in Northern Norway

Arctic Ice Climbing - 93 Ice Climbing Routes in Northern Norway is a guide book to ice climbing in Arctic Norway. 

Arctic Norway has many lesser known and undiscovered spots for ice climbing. An ideal climate ensures that there's almost always good conditions to be found somewhere throughout the winter.

Henrikafossen, Spansdalen, Møysalen, or the famous 700 meter long Skredbekken are among the highlights luring climbers from all over the world to the magic countryside north of the arctic circle. This is the definitive guide for those who live and breathe for climbing with axes, crampons and screws, covering a large part of northern Norway. 

Ice climbing in Harstad and the adjoining regions is something completely different from what you could be used to in more crowded places. Most ice lines have little or no signs of being climbed before you - you're usually not putting your ax in any pre-set "chopping blocks", and you're usually not queuing up for the next line. The season for ice climbing is long, although we recommend getting a proper headlamp to get a good overview of what you're doing. Alternatively, the "bright season" starts in February and lasts until April. Arctic ice climbing is a new frontier with world-class lines waiting to be discovered.

Arctic ice climbing consists of 93 different routes, spanning 8 areas from Møysalen up to Bardu through Sweden and a lot more. It's written entirely in English over 227 pages. Author Christian Dramsdahl has been skiing and climbing in the area for decades. 

The book covers the following areas:

• Bardu
• Lavangen/Salangen
• Riksgränsen / Abisko
• Evenes/Scania
• Harstad
• Tjeldsund
• Møysalen national park
