Lise and I drove to Spiterstulen to "climb" Galdhøpiggen. It rained all night long, but we neverthless did the regular Spiterstulen route, fortunately the rain turned to snow higher up. It was Lise's first 2000 meter, and though we walked in snow for most of the climb, and was surrouned by clouds on top she told me she enjoyed it! It was my seventh ascent of Galdhøpiggen, and twenty years since I had done the regular Spiterstulen route.

However, spending another night in a wet tent to climb Glittertind in poor weather was not something Lise wanted to do, so we drove to Sjusjøen. My uncle and his family was there, and we had a glass of wine with them before we went to bed. On Sunday we had an awesome hailstorm, so we had our share of extreme weather this weekend! Hopefully we will have better weather for the rest of summer.

There was snow from around 1800 meters, and a lot of it. Skis would have been the best equipment for the climb. This is not good news for the coming trip to Skagadalen. We must all remember to bring gaiters, unless there is sun to melt away the snow for the week I doubt Skagastølsryggen is in condition to climb next week.
