x-c skiing 6:30:00 [2]
Grimsdalshytta to Doralsetter. Not the direct line… Started on normal track but cut off to head to summit of Gravhøe. Nice line off this to rejoin marked track and mostly a nice gradient down, but snow lower down got really shitty and I was falling over repeatedly (thanks to DB who helped haul me onto my skis when I was wallowing in the snow). Eventually realised I was hungry and after a bit of hot saft and some snack got my balance back. Down to river and started on the crux of the day, Dørålsglupen. Long drag up and into the gorge. Amazing scale, huge cliffs and steep broken rock on both sides. Deliberately walked a few sections and then had some nice descent down the big entrant on south side. Legs and brain fairly shot by now so lots of side stepping and short slithers plus a bit more walking. Finally reached the hut, an epic day that was well out of my confidence and competence zones!
