Stories from a life of climbing, told one slide at a time.
Join Robert Caspersen at the Norrøna Oslo store for an evening of authentic slides and stories from a life spent in the mountains.
Robert is a living legend in the climbing community. He has taken on some of the world’s most remote and demanding walls, including major expeditions to Trango in the Himalayas and Queen Maud Land in Antarctica. A long-time IFMGA-certified mountain guide, he leads clients year-round in technical and exposed terrain. In his earlier years, he was also Norway’s national champion in sport climbing.
For this evening, Robert will open up his personal archive of original slides from his climbing expeditions, sharing the stories, people and moments behind the images.
Before every adventure was instantly captured, edited and shared, expedition stories were told through slide shows. Photographers returned from the mountains with a limited number of 36-exposure rolls, waited for the film to be developed, selected their best images and arranged them into a carousel. Then came the evening itself: the lights went out, the projector started humming, and stories from the mountains came to life on the screen.
There’s something special about seeing these images the way they were originally meant to be seen. The slides capture a different time in climbing and expedition history, offering a glimpse into the places, people and experiences behind some of Robert’s most memorable adventures.
Whether you remember the days of slide shows or have never experienced one before, come join us for an evening with Robert, his archives and stories from a life in the mountains.
