Countless faces, virgin snow, and ice all around. Northern Norway is a wild place in winter. In this vlog we explore the east face of Tindstinden. To our state of knowledge, this face hasn't been climbed in winter before. This is the story of our potential first winter ascent on this Arctic winter sailing and climbing expedition. We decide to go fast and light: We leave our bivy gear behind, and climb from the Sørvågen harbour to the summit and back in a short day in the winterly Arctic Circle. Our route starts on an obvious ramp leading into a narrow gully, where we find a rather sketchy pitch of alpine ice. In the upper part of the face, we follow an amazing system of rocky ridges and steep couloirs.

S1E21 - After a storm forced us in a harbour for a long time, we're able to set sails finally. We made it right to the edge of the artic circle.

S1E17 - Stadlandet (or Stad) is one of the most dangerous sailing spots in Norway. Often, the highest winds in norway are measured right here. It is infamous for its story of lost ships and seaman. Stad marks the border between the north sea to the south and the norwegian sea to the north. But north is where we want to go. We have to cross it - Even it means waiting for a window between the many storms that occur here.
