Overview
This fantastic 600 meters icefall is one of the longest ice routes in the world situated in the Eikesdalen valley.The weather in the upper part of the valley is often quite warm so some of the climbs in the valley doesnt form every year. Brudeslöret is often one of the first ices to get in shape. On this picture you can see the Gulisen to the right of Brudeslöret.Me to the left!
