It's not electrical work. Instead, we install the big poles, pulling the cables, putting everything up, and then the electrician comes to plug in the power. It’s cool, with some fun tools to use too. My favourite is the helicopter. It feels cinematic to have a helicopter flying 20 metres above your head as you’re standing up on the pole trying to fix it.

You don't need any education to do what I do. Because you don't work with electricity.

If you know how to use a screwdriver, you're good to go. You do need to complete an internet course for a couple of hours. We focus on safety. This is super important as you can fall down and really hurt yourself. People die every year doing this job.

This is my seventh year doing it, and it’s hardcore work. You really work for the money.

My earliest memory of winter sport must be before I got my snowboard, when I used to put small skis together when I was little and spend a lot of time outside, as my father was pretty active. I’m sure I had slalom skis from the day I was born.

In 1991 and 1997 we had a crazy, crazy good winter jumping from rooftops and skiing everything we could. I've always been attracted to winter. My mum always used to say that winter was my time, winter was Krister’s time.

I enjoy making my money doing honest work. I feel like I’m building something which feels great. However, if you look at my Instagram, I’m barely active in the summer because I'm working all the time. When I work with people and I tell them what I do, then they see some of my movies can’t believe what I do! I live in two different worlds, but I enjoy that we get to travel around Norway. One time we were building a power line up on the mountain and we stayed in a small village by ourselves. We installed our own electricity, water, a stove, fridge, and everything we needed to live up there. People had no idea what we were doing, it was super out there.

You work 10 days on, and 10 days off. And during those 10 days you do 12-hour shifts. You start at 7 and stop at 7. You wake up at 5:30, stretch, drink coffee, and prepare for the rest of the day.

You go out to work and you come home and prepare the meal for the next day. It feels like you’re in a hamster wheel. Every day your routine is training, working, making food, eat, sleep, repeat.

I have an inner feeling, or inner flame that feels like it needs to be tamed which is why I get out there.

Mountains give me an overwhelming feeling of being small and not having control. I love going out there and working like I do with my job. For example, figuring it out as you go, checking out the snow, finding anchor points, working out if you’re going to repel.

It’s those experiences and moments which are the best parts for me.

I even love coming down from the mountains, sitting in a warm car where it’s now a privilege to be warm and sleeping in a bed. You appreciate the small things when you get out in the mountains.

When you go into the mountains and you start climbing, you realise I can only do what I can do to minimise the risk of anything. You need to understand the mountain is in charge and you can only do so much to prepare for the day.

I'm scared a lot of times. But I think if people say they are afraid of heights and they're just shaking a bit, I don’t believe they are scared of heights, they are just being human. Your body and mind are reacting to something like it’s a threat. You know if somebody is afraid of heights as they just freak out, that’s different.

I’m scared especially with things that are new to me such as climbing. Often I’m scared when I go up, but as soon as I strap into my board, I remember I’ve been doing this for many years now and I’m in control.

I like being scared. It’s a good feeling to explore being human, being out of your comfort zone, and appreciating the small things.
