Last weeks work

[Norwayclimber]

Just a small video from last weeks work. (1:30 min)

http://www.adressa.no/tv/?id=9260 (All the talking is in norwegian, but you'll get a small impression off what some of the most notherliving ashes in Norway look like. The ones in the video were planted almost 200 years ago)

213 ashes (Fraxius Excelsior) that we had to deadwood. First 2 days were nice and dry, before we had snow that went over to rain that went over to snow again. Last day all the trees were nice and glazed with a 3 mm layer of ice. Made almost the same sound as you get when your ice climbing, and break all those small icesicles and they go rushing down the waterfall.

But we had a great time. We were 9 climbers from different parts of southern Norway that travelled up to Trondheim (about 63 degrees north), worked at day, slept at night and in the evening.

Eh NorwayClimber! Look like a good time. Alway fun when climbers get together and start drinking. Any fist fights or you guys too civilized for that? Jokin thanks for posting!

 

[Norwayclimber]

lol. Yea, we're way to civilized for that kind of activities. And fistfights would most definatley lead to injuries, which would have meant one less climber, again leading to spending more time in wet/frozen trees. Not the kind of situation you want, when the weekend is approaching.
