July 27: Romsdalseggen

We were up early to meet Soowan and his wife before tackling Romsdalseggen, the picturesque but brutal 11.5 km trek.  This one took us over 8 hours with the last 30 minute descent being the most challenging portion.

We did get rewarded with some spectacular views at about the halfway point as the fog cleared at the perfect time. We took most of our photos at the peak as we could see the fjord and city below.  The trek also included another ridge climb reminiscent of Besseggen.  Although not as difficult, it still made me quite nervous as we scaled with steep drops, particularly off the left hand side. 

After the grueling hike, we made it back to Trollveggen Camping where we immediately ate dinner, showered and then headed for a well-deserved sleep.
