2. the Climbing Gym Industry and Oslo Klatresenter As
Norwegian School of Economics Bergen, Spring 2021 Valuation of Oslo Klatresenter AS A fundamental analysis of a Norwegian climbing gym company Kristoffer Arne Adolfsen Supervisor: Tommy Stamland Master thesis, Economics and Business Administration, Financial Economics NORWEGIAN SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS This thesis was written as a part of the Master of Science in Economics and Business Administration at NHH. Please note that neither the institution nor the examiners are responsible − through the approval of this thesis − for the theories and methods used, or results and conclusions drawn in this work. 2 Abstract The main goal of this master thesis is to estimate the intrinsic value of one share in Oslo Klatresenter AS as of the 2nd of May 2021. The fundamental valuation technique of adjusted present value was selected as the preferred valuation method. In addition, a relative valuation was performed to supplement the primary fundamental valuation. This thesis found that the climbing gym market in Oslo is likely to enjoy a significant growth rate in the coming years, with a forecasted compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in sales volume of 6,76% from 2019 to 2033. From there, the market growth rate is assumed to have reached a steady-state of 3,50%. The period, however, starts with a reduced market size in 2020 and an expected low growth rate from 2020 to 2021 because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Based on this and an assumed new competing climbing gym opening at the beginning of 2026, OKS AS revenue is forecasted to grow with a CAGR of 4,60% from 2019 to 2033. -
Reru Valley Expedition Proposal 2011
RERU VALLEY EXPEDITION PROPOSAL 2011 FOREWORD The destination of this expedition is to the Reru valley in the Zanskar range. This range is located in the north East of India in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, between the Great Himalayan range and the Ladakh range. Until 2009 there had been no climbing expeditions to the valley, and there are a large number of unclimbed summits between 5700m and 6200m in this area: only two of the 36 identified peaks have seen ascents. Our expedition aims to take a large group of 7 members that will use a single base camp but split into two teams that will attempt different types of objective. One team will focus on technical rock climbing ascents, whilst the other team will focus on alpine style mixed snow and rock ascents of unclimbed peaks with a target elevation of around 6000m.

Canyoneering Packing List
Canyoneering Packing List Equipment ❏ Ropes - one important thing to recognize when choosing a rope, is to know there is a difference between a canyoneering rope (static rope) and a climbing rope (dynamic rope) ❏ Rope Bags ❏ Backpack ❏ Dry Bags - In most canyons you will run into water along the way. Dry bags are not a must have, but can keep your gear dry (especially electronics). ❏ Harness - a climbing harness will work for canyoneering, but it will wear out a lot quicker than a canyoneering specific harness. ❏ Helmets ❏ Descenders - There are different descenders you can use in canyoneering, mostly it is up to personal preference. Some options are the Figure 8, the Pirana, a Critr, a ATS, or even a climbing ATC ( wouldn’t recommend the ATC though, they can get really hot with all the friction, but they are easy to use).. ❏ Carabiners - Make sure you bring a few. ❏ Webbing - In some canyons there aren’t anchors built in or they have broken. In those cases, you will need webbing to build your own anchors (make sure you know the proper way to do this, especially in tying knots). ❏ Headlamp - canyons can often get dark faster because of how steep and deep you are down one. The sun may not be down, but it can be dark. Best to be prepared with a light. ❏ Gloves - When rappelling you can easily get rope burn, but if you are wearing gloves you will have no problems with that. ❏ Shoes - you will want shoes that have a lot of grip. Canyons can really tear up shoes so if you can, bring or rent canyoneering specific shoes. -
Bradley and Alek's Patrasi Expedition 2014, Kanjiroba Himal
Bradley and Alek's Patrasi Expedition 2014, Kanjiroba Himal. A report by Aleksey Zholobenko and Bradley Morrell. December 2014 1 Summary On the 13th of October 2014, this lightweight Anglo-Russian expedition, sponsored by the Alpine Club and the BMC, set off to the Upper Dolpo region of Nepal in order to attempt to climb the fifteen hundred meter north face of Patrasi (6450m) in the Kanjiroba Himal. Following a seven day approach (four with porters, three without) from Jumla by the Chaudhabise Khola via col 4942, a basecamp was established at roughly 4200m at the head of the Chyandayng Khola on the 24 th of October and following reconnaissance, an attempt on the face made, despite snow conditions which may be inadequately described as horrific. The attempt was subsequently aborted at around 5400m on the 30 st of October on account of one of the expedition members acquiring mildly frostbitten toes . Following a five day rest and recovery period, the expedition made an exploratory retreat down the Chyandayng Khola to avoid exposing the toes to potential refreezing on col 4942. In the process, the unsuitability of this route for approaches and retreats to the north face of the mountain was confirmed. The expedition team followed the Mugu Karnali and arrived at Talchi airport on the 12th of November. The expedition subsequently returned to the UK safely on the 17 th of November as planned. With the exception of the unseasonal storm between 14 th and 16th of October and moderate snowfall on the 25th and 26th of October, the weather was fair, with almost no cloud or precipitation. -

Some say it takes a lifetime, so youʼre not going to pick it all up in a weekend, and to try and ram it all into one handout would be a waste of everybody's time. There are lots of great resources out there, just check the internet. “Mountaineering - Freedom of the Hills” is considered the standard for good reason. The 7th addition is almost 600 pages long. The goal of Glacier School is not to make you an expert, but to make you a more competent member of a team, such that youʼre not a total liability and more experienced people (may) feel comfortable trusting their life to you by tying together on the same rope for glacier travel. This manual will strive to help you study beforehand and remind you afterwards about what youʼve learned and is highly abridged. When out on these future trips endeavor to always discuss the decisions made, so that everybody is thinking and can learn from each other. There are many ways to accomplish the same thing, with advantages and disadvantages to all of them. -

How to Rock Climb Outside (Sport Climbing)
How To Rock Climb Outside (sport climbing) First and foremost gear is the name of the game for this outdoor recreation activity. You will need: Rock climbing shoes Rock climbing harness Chalk bag Chalk 12 quickdraws 2 runners/slings 5 total screw gate locking carabiners 1 daisy chain 1 ATC, Jule or Pilot climbing device for belaying and rappelling 1 60 or 70 meter rock climbing rope (dynamic) Rock climbing helmet Introduction Indoor climbing gyms are great when it’s 20 degrees and snowing, but now that the sun is shining and summer is here, you may want to get outside to climb that pitch you’ve stared at in wonder. Whether you have experience climbing indoors or no climbing experience at all, here are some tools and information to get you started. Outdoor Rock Climbing Climbing outside is the same as climbing inside, but there are a couple major differences. One, of course, is the weather, but the second, less obvious difference is how you protect 2 yourself when you’re outside. Outdoor rock climbing, aka sport climbing, is where you use gear (quickdraws) to clip to bolts (see picture of circled bolts and quickdraws) attached to the rock wall. If you go to a rock climbing spot and see a bunch of shiny things in a row going up the rock, these are likely bolts. Think of the bolts as rungs on a ladder leading you up the pitch, only these rungs will stop your rope and essentially “catch” you if you fall. These will allow you to climb with confidence and test yourself on harder and harder pitches.
