Description

Two climbs today – the first up the 11 switchbacks up Eagle Way (Ørnevegen), to 1700 feet, then a gradual drop back to sea level. Then a long grinder up to the backside of Trollstiggen (Troll’s Ladder), ~2700 feet.

Dramatic descent down Trollstiggen – a stupendous stretch of road.

Perfect weather…

Actual climbing 5600 feet.
