Norwegen, Lyngen-Alpen
Während wir zum Klettern ins Tessin fuhren, ging Zach Paley zelten. So weit, so wenig aufregend. Er schlug sein Zelt allerdings in den schneebedeckten Weiten der Lyngen-Alpen auf. Was er dort machte? Das könnt ihr in diesem Report nachlesen!

Während wir zum Klettern ins Tessin fuhren, ging Zach Paley zelten. So weit, so wenig aufregend. Er schlug sein Zelt allerdings in den schneebedeckten Weiten der Lyngen-Alpen auf. Was er dort machte? Das könnt ihr in diesem Report nachlesen!The posh life had to end. No more saunas. No more chocolate chip cookies. No more warm beds. Lyngen was going to get a little more in-tents. 

I’d done plenty of looking at where I wanted to go. The stability was right, and it was time to go there. 

Norwegen 2013 Zach Paley

I packed my gear after the Second Vulkana Trip, caught a ride back to Camp Kviteberg, and left the following morning for the west side of the peninsula.

This was a solo trip. I tried some interval shooting, but was only rewarded with pictures that didn’t turn out. I’ve always looked up to guys like Christian Pondella, but I now have a new level or respect for them. This is an incredibly tedious and difficult way to take pictures. 

Rather than invest time and energy into failed photographs, I focused on going skiing, which the midnight sun allowed me to do whenever I wanted.

The rhythm I fell into went something like this:1. Wake up
2. Eat
3. Check to see if boots had dried while sleeping (they hadn’t)
4. Cringe
5. Put ski boots on
6. Walk/Hike/Climb
7. Ski
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until tired
9. Repeat steps 6 and 7 a little more
10. Return to tent, take gear off to dry
11. Eat
12. Write in journal
13. Sleep
14. Start at step 1.

With no watch, no phone, and nobody else, I went eight days only communicating my thoughts to my journal, skiing while awake, and sleeping after skiing. It was the most straightforward, pure living I’ve ever experienced. 

It’s amazing to wake up, not know what time it is, and for it not to matter because you can ski around the clock. Camping and skiing in Lyngen in May is something special.

Lyngen and I bonded a lot during this time. They whispered secrets through rustle of treelimbs, babbled chatter through the streams, called in the distance through movements of rock and ice, and bawled to me through the wind. It had taken me almost a month of patience while Lyngen remained quiet. Finally seeing I was willing to take the time to listen, the mountains shared with me.
