Norway is wet (we know, one of our staff has climbed there), and in winter it's cold. Put together these mean an ice climber's paradise is a short flight or ferry ride away.

Rockfax have produced a typically excellent guide to the wealth of icefalls in Rjukan near Oslo. Written by local climbers it covers an area with over 150 waterfalls and easy access.

helpfully the guide has pointers to other areas to climb outrageous ice in Norway, encouraging you to explore.
