bad condition on bolts

first part is nice laidback climbing

high....

High boulder, really nice. But can make you nervous alone.

harder then 6B, closer to 6C

A superb climb. Be aware on the wide crack on pitch 4, when rappelling down. it might try to eat your rope.

A great combination of climbing and hiking with a view. Quite different climbing from much else in Lofoten.

Nice alternative route up "geita". You get a great view over Svolvær the whole climb. Five pitches.

A long and well protected route. The guidebook said seven pitches 250m. It is rather six and closer to 210m. The "last" pitch is ten meters. It is also possible to do it in five pitches. Pitch 1 is fun, pitch 2 is a little bit loose, pitch 3 is nice slab with crack, pitch 4 is fun, pitch 5 is the best one, pitch 6 ends up on a beautiful exposed belay position.

A beautiful line, five pitches, 180m. Pitch two, which the guidebook says is a 5C, is in my opinion closer to 6a or 6a+. It is two hard moves, and they are technical. The two last pitches are amazing. And makes this a really beautiful line. And as a plus, it is a really sort and easy approach.

Four pitches (6a,5b,6a,5b). Third pitch is beautiful! Easy approach to the start as well.

Four pitches (5b,6a+,5c,3b). Third pitch is superb! Easy approach to the start as well.

A nice route. This is also a little bit polished.

This is an old route. Very polished, which makes it harder then it probably was.

Ankelen funker endelig :)

Fire ruter var max for ankelen for denne dagen.

Første tur ute etter ankelen røk. Sakte, sakte progresjon

It is not to easy to place gear on the second pitch. But nice climbing.

Three pitches, all on bolts. The last pitch was the nicest one. And maybe the "hardest" one.

Rent og pent riss, med fin laidback klatring.

Needs to be cleaned a little bit. Felt like climbing in a forest some places.

A tricy balance crux. Beautiful line, with diversity in the climbing.

Meget fin og varierende

A tricky slab route

Beautiful and superb climbing.

One small crux

A really funny one. Several funny dynamic moves.

Maybe the most beautiful 6c+ I have done in Spain so far.

Kind of messy route. The other 6a+ left of this one is much better.

A really good 6b. Technical vertical and sustained. Lives up to being one of "top 50 in the book".

Short one, one crux small crux.

Really nice, good holds, no big crux, but sustained.

The grade is because of one hard move

Maybe the most beautiful vertical 6b+ I have done.

Funny one for the grade.

Short with a technical crux

funny short one. One power move

Really nice

A crag that is not to much used these days. So the wall could need som cleaning.

Fin sva klatring, med et dynamisk flytt midtveis.

Lever opp til å være en klassisker.

Med godt fotarbeid og litt teknikk i kroppen kan man smyge seg opp denne uten å bruke for mye krefter.

Followed and cleaned on way up. Three pitches

Lead pitch 2, 4 and 6. Two man team, used 4 hours. The route is interesting and different than a lot of other multi pitches I have done. The three first pitches are pure slab. Slab slab slab. We were discussing wich one we thought was the trickiest one, and we agreed on pitch three. The three last pitches gives you more vertical climbing. If you are not used to slab, then it might feel hard for the grade. If you are confident on slab, it might feel soft for the grade. Overall a nice route that is more technical demanding than physical. The bolts are as good as new and in great conditions. It is short distance between each bolt. And it is easy to bail from the route since it´s bolts the hole way.

Did it through the night. Started at 10 pm. And was the only team on the wall. A beautiful night with good weather. The fog arrived in the morning at the last pitch.
