“A phone call to my friends who live in the land of fjords and gigantic waterfalls confirmed my hopes for good ice conditions in Norway. Even local climbing legend, Aslak Aastorp, couldn’t remember seeing so much ice since he moved to Sunndalsøra in 1990.” Of course, Arc’teryx athlete, Ines Papert (@inespapert), purchased plane tickets 5-minutes after hanging up the phone and got to work.  ✅ Fleeting Glory 750m, M7+, WI 6+ ✅ Gjølatappen 350m, M8, WI 6 ✅ Iskafe 350m, M5, WI 6/6+ ✅ Orion’s Belte 1000m, M4+, WI5 “Four spectacular first ascents,” says Ines. “All of them started in the dark and went well into the night, all were climbed clean and free. Gjølatappen was climbed with Eivind Hugaas (@eivindhugaas) and Torje Stenkjær (@torjestenk), and one of the routes even caused some excitement in the town.”  Indeed, as locals watched Ines and her partners climb a side of the mountain that had never been climbed before, their worries and excitement built until they eventually called in a police and mountain rescue operation.  “As I heard it, people from the town were worried about us. Thank you! I do apologize. Thankfully, my friend had been in touch with the police and let them know we were safe and didn’t need help.” 😮‍💨  Congrats Ines on your remarkable climbs and reminding us: “You have to try something in order to achieve it.”  📸: @torjestenk
