Missingmyr, Norway: Climbing + Swimming

On Saturday we loaded up the car for a 1.5-day trip to Missingmyr, Norway for some sport climbing. Though we only had 30 hours, we still fit in two nearly full days of climbing, some Norwegian Yatzee, and a dip in the ocean -thanks to the long Scandinavian summer daylight hours.

The short approach into Missingmyr; note the cliff band, visible through the trees.

Local (and really good) bouldering at Dye. Though water was actually running down the holds, the Swedes insisted it was dry. "It's amazing what chalk will do."

Indeed we could climb!

Tickets to + from Scandinavia July-Sept

I just completed the purchase of a mulit-city ticket combo heading from Bozeman, Montana in the middle of July, to Boston, Massachusetts for a week, and then to Tight Pants, Sweden for a few months -hopefully with a lot of climbing in Bohuslän, on Sweden's west coast.

Just some more amazing tufa climbing here... (We haven't even climbed here yet.)
