Rannveig Aamodt (born 3 January 1984 in Molde, Norway) is a professional rock climber from Norway.
Early life
Aamodt, who hails from Molde, Norway, completed an extensive 3,800-kilometer ski expedition across Norway during winter at the age of 22. Beginning in 2006, she embarked on this unsupported journey alongside fellow explorer Anne Grete Nebell, starting at Lindesnes and concluding 14 weeks later at Nordkapp. Their expedition was aided by two Greenland dogs that pulled the pulk carrying their supplies.
Achievements
In April 2012, while sport climbing in Turkey with her spouse Nathan Welton, Aamodt experienced a fall of approximately 50 feet due to an uncommon rope setup mistake. The accident resulted in several injuries, including fractures and dislocations of both ankles as well as compression fractures in her spine. Following a two-month period confined to a wheelchair, she resumed climbing activities and within eight months after the incident, she successfully redpointed a 5.13c route, exceeding her previous climbing grade by two levels.
