Torghatten

 

Famous in Norway, Torghatten is the "mountain with the hole in the middle".  We had to see.  Here we are getting ready to hike up to the hole.

It was a substantial hike, so had to be supported appropriately.

But when we got there, sure enough, we found a hole right through the middle.  It was hard to photograph, because the backlighting washed out the photo.  But imagine a large (at least 60' high) natural tunnel right through the middle of a mountain.  This is what the view looks like out one end of the "hole".

Lyell liked the climbing, and became quite proficient at building Cairns (stacked stones that mark the trail).

I know he's going to make quite a mountaineer.  I just hope he will be willing to wait for me.
