In reply to brunoschull:
I have an old mate and climbing partner who now lives in Tromso and I see from her Facebook that she did her first ice climbing up there last weekend. It looked skinny but they were putting screws in and there was virtually no snow about, so no over head avvy risk. I'm sure she wouldn't mind answering a few questions if you want me to put you in touch.
> Is there anywhere close enough to Tromso to ice climb that could be practical for a one day climb?
Yes - quite a few possibilities from what I remember - from ice in old quarries basically in the town, to some bigger venues in the surrounding areas.
> If I booked a guide, I would love to climb something long/multipitch, which is the kind of climbing I love, but a day on ice is a day on ice, so single pitch ice cragging would be fine.
I just checked on google maps - just less than two hours to get you to the big ice on the east side of Lyngen, either by the ferry, or round the longer way on land. There is a guiding company that works out of Lyngseidet I think - Northern Lights Guiding I think?
