In 2005, Jonna and I travelled to Lofoten. At the same time our friends Jenny and Ioannis participated in a climbing course held by Nord Norsk Klatreskole. The first days had glorious weather and Jonna and I climbed three routes. But after that the raining started… It was not until the last days of our stay it dried up again and we ended our stay with the classic route up Svolværgeita. The climb ends with the famous jump between the two “horns” on the summit.
