	Introduction
		Rjukans problem, it was repeatedly stated, was that it was trapped, not only in the material infrastructure but also in the mentality of the bygone industrial society.
		For the members of a work group to construct a joint description of the local community within a time frame of on hour or less, and merge this description with the ones of the other groups, also within a narrow time frame, it is quite necessary to rely on this style of communication.
		The bulk of the activity that went into the development project at Rjukan was devoted to the formulation of four different future scenario’s of the local community.

	Icicle Mountaineering: Norwegian Icefall Climbing, Rjukan
		Having said this, most of the icefalls are in the southern half of the country, within a two to three hour drive from Oslo, as further north (around Trondheim) the snowfalls are so great and the daylight hours so restricted, that there isn't a lot of accessible ice climbing.
		The pictures below show two of the classic Rjukan ice climbs, the picture on the left is of a curtain of ice, whilst the photo on the right is a pillar of ice.
		Both are grade V. The reason that the Rjukan region gets such good icefalls is that the orientation of the valley ensures that there are a lot of North facing slopes, and there are a lot of seepage lines and streams running into the main River Mana.
