Irmeline de Sadeleer & Maren Salte Kallelid - Hello, Hallologaland!
Ever dreamt of putting up first ascents in the alpine as an all female team? This story will inspire you to reach out to your favorite alpinista partner and make it happen. Irmeline de Sadeleer & Maren Salte Kallelid co-authored this story, which was originally published in Tidsskrift for Norsk Alpinklatring (Norwegian Alpine Journal) in 2021. It takes place in Northern Norway, in the picturesque valley of Bjærangen in Norland.
Irmeline and Maren's refreshingly vulnerable accounts of these badass adventures remind us that, though we can appear experienced and confident and all the things, most people experience self-doubt and anxiety in new territory.
