The author of this book is fresh off publishing a ski touring guide for the entire area, and follows it up with the first ever detailed ice climbing guide, covering a large area between Møysalen and Bardu, with visits to Riksgränsen and Abisko in Sweden as well as Harstad and its surrounding areas. This is the home of some world class ice climbing routes.

Take the short trip over to the swedish border territory of Riksgränsen and Abisko for reliable conditions and challenging, yet easily reachable crags. All this while breathing the cold air of the arctic and maybe even witnessing the magical northern lights.
