Skibotndalen

There are routes, easily visible from the E8, across the valley from the road on its south side about 11km+ from the E6 junction. These include Hourglass, photo below. There is more ice in the Norddalselva side canyon. Access these by parking by workers' cabins next to a gravel quarry and taking the easy track over the bridge:

Some of the climbing in Norddalselva canyon 60m, WI4 right, WI3 left

Next route further into the canyon (ie to the right)

..and the next route - not the piddly thing it appeared,
a classy WI4+, 90m we unofficially dubbed 'The Charming Sting'
Further up Skibotndalen there are some easy routes where the main river travels through a gorge. We parked near the cabins at Halsebakkan, but it would be worth finding an easier way into the gorge than we did in 2011. Any other route would be easier...


A WI3(?) on the opposite side, but how to get there?

Fighting our way into the gorge:
