We’ve had plenty of sudden changes in our plans. First of all, Lauri had bad fever and he was given antibiotics the day before our flights should have left to the Alps. As it’s not possible to acclimatize while being sick we had to cancel the flights. It sucked big time!
But it didn’t suck for too long. The very next day Sampsa had joined Saku and Eetu for their plans of winter ascent of Ultima Thule on Blåmannen in Northern Norway. These plans were later to become the fourth winter ascent of this north facing wall in 20+ years. The pictures are online here and www.pitoni.fi.
