Rannveig Aamodt (born 3 January 1984 in Molde, Norway) is a Norwegian rock climber.

Rannveig Aamodt was born on 3 January 1984 in Molde, Norway. [1] At 22 years old, she became one of the youngest people to complete a 3,800-kilometer winter ski traverse of Norway, starting at the country's southernmost point (the lighthouse at Lindesnes) and ending 14 weeks later at the northernmost point on the mainland (Nordkapp). [2] Aamodt began the unassisted journey in 2006 on her birthday with fellow adventurer Anne Grete Nebell. [3] The pair was accompanied by two Greenland dogs, which helped them pull their supply-laden pulk. [4]

In April 2012, Aamodt took a 50-foot ground fall while sport climbing in Turkey with her husband Nathan Welton, due to a mistake she made in preparing to be lowered from the anchor in an unusual rope configuration. She suffered dislocation/fractures of both ankles (one open), 3 vertebral compression fractures, a pelvis fracture, various fractures of the small bones in her feet, an open fracture/dislocation of her right elbow, and tears and ruptures of tendons in her ankles and upper arm. She used a wheelchair for 2 months but returned to climbing. Eight months post the accident, she redpointed 5.13c  (8a+), two grades higher than she was climbing at pre-accident. [5] [6]
