Mt Everest summit expedition in spring 2018
Preparing for this has taken me a couple of years and now is the right time to summit and I am ready – I am now assigned to the Mt Everest Peak Expedition 2018. The intention is to climb with my friend Chhiring Dorje Sherpa from the…
The last track out of Aconcagua Provincial Park
Plaza de Mulas, 4.300m, was the last and largest camp to leave in the morning. It’s the largest camp around Aconcagua. My feeling was that some type of hippi-culture was present with it’s consequences in this camp. The last twenty km track towards Horcones at 2.950m went…
From cold to warm to Aconcagua
The last days where really so stressful with so much work and worry regarding health. I have prepared a lot and one part of this was eating great. But, I experienced that eating 4-5 kg of grapefruits every week for the last 2 months can…
Aconcagua approaching
I have been climbing in Nepal and Norway the last three years and thought one more 7000m mountain in the 7 summits series would be great before summiting Mt Everest in spring. I am looking for more high altitude experience and Aconcagua is it! Aconcagua, with its 6,961m, is the…
Thoughts during rock climbing in Norway
Recently I spent some days in Norway in the area of Tysfjorden. This is where you find mountains such as Stetind and Eidetind with the Klubbruta climbing route. Just a couple of days before this I also spent some days at Kebnekaise leading our 26 talents team…
Climbing adventure at Saint Victoire
Montagne Sainte-Victoire 1012m is located very near Aix in Provence. It’s been on my mind the last ten years and yesterday I summited at 10AM. I thought the south side from Puyloubier would be easy but doing this 650m climb showed out to be tougher…
Leaving Everest
Today I left Everest Base Camp early and in almost darkness. Before jumping into the car, heading towards Lhasa, I turned around and viewed the Mt Everest peak one more time. Everything was silent as a change, no wind, no clouds – just the giant…
Summit Everest North Col !!
Yesterday at 15:10 I reached the North Col together with Chhiring. The highest point was 7060m. I am so happy that it finally worked after four days in Advanced Base Camp and one failure. I did it!! North Col is such a beautiful and tough…
Arrived in Advanced Bas Camp
Three days ago we emptied Base Camp from essential equipment that we will be needing in Advanced Base Camp. The last day in the Base Camp Chhiring arranged a so called Puja Ceremony in our Camp with two Lamas. With the Puja we will be…
Arrival in Interim Camp
We have moved to our Interim Camp now. The trekk was tough yesterday. We covered 16km, 700m in altitude and 32500 steps upphill from Basecamp. Our camp Interim was built at 5900m. On the way up we met a yak-caravan with 150 yaks. I always…
