TIMELINE

Romsdal, Norway, 2021

I often get asked if I have photographs of specific subjects. Sometimes I can answer yes, other times, like with this picture, I travel on assignment for a client who now owns the first edition of this in large size.

In this case, the client was on location, we sat on Romsdalseggen and looked towards Romsdalshorn to the left and Trollveggen to the right while we waited for the light to change. When the light was favorable, I snapped the camera, and when the light was flat, the conversation naturally turned to our shared interest in mountain sports, skiing and base jumping.

It struck me that Norwegian climbing in many ways (if you ignore Olav Trygvasson's daring ascent of Hornelen) originated precisely on Romsdalshorn when Christen Hoel and Hans Bjermeland reached the top with self-forged knock-down bolts in 1828. If you look at this against international mountaineering in the same period, was it perhaps one of Norwegian mountaineering's finest moments?

To the right, Trollveggen dominates, which was not climbed for the first time until 1965. This is an incredible span of time that encompasses important moments, like snippets fixed in time on a timeline. A timeline that stretches right into our own time, but new achievements such as the early beginnings of base jumping in Europe in 1980, later wingsuit flying over the “flat” terrain below Romsdalshorn and skiing on the right edge of Trollveggen, down Fivaruta.

The photograph got its name before we packed up the equipment up there on Romsdalseggen.
