Ice Climbing Conditions — November Update

Winter is on its way, and ice is beginning to form across the Rjukan valley. This article will be updated regularly throughout the season with current ice conditions, so check back for the latest reports.

Temperatures are finally dropping this week, and the forecast looks promising for ice development in the higher areas. If the cold weather continues, routes such as Gaustatoppfossen and other climbs at higher elevations should start to come into shape within about a week.

In the Rjukan area, conditions are expected to follow soon after — likely within two weeks — provided the forecast stays cold and stable.

Stay tuned for updates as winter progresses and the season begins!
