Ice climbing in Valdres

Beitostølen / Kalvedalen

 Kalvedalen is a hidden valley rising up from Beito valley near Beitostølen.  The valley holds three main ice-falls.

The inner most ice fall is a steep fall about 90m high.  It looks steep throughout and although it has been climbed I have no first hand reports of whats it like.

The middle fall is also consistently steep and looks to be 1 pitch.

The outer most fall is more amenable 2 pitch climb with an easy introduction pitch before a steeper final pitch that can be outflanked to the right.
