Espen, Martin, Pål, Tormod and I went to Turtragrø for the weekend. The other four were going to climb Skagastølsryggn (on the picture), but had to turn back due to huge amount of loose snow.  

While the other four was on the ridge, I walked up to the summit of Fanaråken, then down the north flank and up the south ridge of Steindalsnosi.
Both of these mountains are very easy, the most interesting route is definitly the one I did. It was however the first time I was really alone in the mountains, and being on the col between the two mountains was a strong experience.

This trip was also saw our first use of the new, cheap walkie-talkies that are available. We managed to communicate between the summits of Fanaråken and Nordre Skagastølstind, more than 5 kilometers (the advertisment said upto 3 was possible :-) ).

On sunday we scaled Soleiebotntind, and traversed the Soleiebotnridge all the way to Ringstind. On the smallest the ridge was less than a metre, and steep on both sides. Espen and Martin was very comfortable with the exposure, I am no longer used to heights and had to take my time.

All in all another good trip to the mountains!
