Altevatnet pt2, Salvassvággi

Weather was a lot better than expected, lots of sunshine in the morning made me hike those 12km to Altevass in no time. There I met Simon from Schweinfurth coming the other way. Immediately he had to inquire about my oh so small backpack, couldn’t believe this is “fine” since his is almost three times the weight and he cares just what’s needed out here and also it carries so well that it is not a problem for him since he’s trained and fit (congrats) and heavy boots like his are a must have anyway.

ANYWAY, I could ask him about the conditions on the last pass before Abisko and since he said, they would be fine and that there are good spots to camp I decided to push on.
It was an easy enough walk back into the mountains, decided to not go to high up in case of a storm and made it still far enough so that tomorrow won’t be too hard anymore.

My left Achilles’ tendon still hurts. Ouch.Leggi altro
