Climbing and Rappelling at Kolsåstoppen

On 16 September I took a trip organized by the University of Oslo Student Life to the mount seen below for climbing and rappelling.  If you look at a previous post you'll also see that I had been at the same location a while back for a hiking trip with friends.  I was with a group of about 8 other international students and 2 trained guides.  We first hiked to the top, then took turns rappelling down, ate some pølser (hot dogs), and finally each climbed up and belayed down.  All the proper safety equipment was used of course. 





A view of the Kolsåstoppen hill.  We were climbing and rappelling at the top where you can see the exposed rock.
