Nikki-

Peak bashing! Today we headed for the highest land and snow peak. It was a struggle and we underestimated how hard a snow peak is to find… just one big dome. Walking in crampons, in a line, and roped up at the same pace as everyone else is quite a difficult task, yet we seem to be perfecting it. There was a certain delight when we hit the land peak and had amazing views all around.



On the way back we revisited the snow peak and had a little snow man building session. The ratpak raisins came in handy, as eyes and buttons on the snowman. By the time we reached camp we were all pretty tired but glad to have explored part of the Oksfjord glacier. More exploring tomorrow!
