Rjukan in Norway has developed a major reputation for its magnificent waterfalls which, in winter, give a high concentration of ice climbs of all difficulties. The falls vary from short half-pitch fun to 800m+ adventures. Most are easily reached by short approach walks. The main valley is out of the sun most of the winter offering stable reliable conditions.
Rockfax Heavy Water - Rjukan Ice follows the familiar Rockfax format of colour photo topos and concise route descriptions. The authors, Jon Haukåssveen and Tom Atle Bordevik live locally and are experienced ice climbers, Jon in particular has many first ascent in the Rjukan area.
Because of the environment it will be used in, the new Rjukan guide comes complete with a free plastic sleeve to help preserve the book.
