Short bit of climbing in a great setting

Fun adventury climbing. Most rappels are around 20m, so we needed to do 14 with a 70m rope. A tag line or two ropes would allow you to do three at a time, but getting the rope stuck would suck...

Did the last pitch as well, followed by a 2 hour descending adventure

My first 7b+. Great sequence, but not exactly "rakt" on the easier bits.

Almost fell 😰

Led p2

Fun and kinda burly climbing

Tried a couple years ago. Went easily after the trip to Indian Creek.

Cruisy cracks with slaby spice! Lives up to the hype. 8h climbing and 1h descent with Carly. Led p1 p3 p5 p7 p10 p12.

Great jammable well protected cracks! Led p2 p4.

Midnight sun alpine adventure with Carly! Bivied (planned) after the climbing and before the gap.

Nice climb! Led p2.

Did p2 and p3, led p3

Longest project to date

🤷‍♂️

It was an effort to flash this. Cool sequences!

En upplevelse

Followed 2019-06

Dirty after the winter which made it one of the sketchier climbs I've done in a while

Not much easier than the sit start

Surprisingly wet, dirty and slimy when the rest of the wall was mostly dry

3 sessions, but didn't feel hard once we found all the holds

Took some time but felt pretty "comfortable" on the send go. Might have learned something in Indian Creek?

Close on the onsight go, but ended up going on 5th in the end with some encouragement from the first ascentionist. Fun moves with good pro. Some faff to clean.

Harder than any climb at Ävja at least

Didn't use, see or think there's a need for a bolt

Top rope flash, but leading it would take some work

Flashed after seeing Fredrik

4 years in the making? Pretty line

Obvious potato 🥔

Nice warm-up

Neat

Striking line, fun, sporty climbing. Went in third go on third day of climbing sandstone so soft for Creek 5.12-.

My first climb on sandstone. Got winded!

Sit start. Went fast, 3rd go.

More approach shoe shenanigans.

Approach shoe warm-up.

More even than the neighbour to the left. Short but quite a few good moves.

Much nicer than the neighbour to the left.

Not sure if it was the new shoes, the warm rock or if all the good footholds broke off but this felt much more desperate than the 7b I did the day earlier. Not a fan of the rock quality or the bolting.

A good looking & clear line, which is rare for Stockholm sport climbs. Fun moves. Some loose holds at the start. Went third go in one session so probably easy for the grade. Nice unexpected whipper on the second go.

So many ticks I shouldn't count it as an onsight. Went easily.

More bold than hard. Fell on the descent, will still count it as an onsight.

Great route. Good gear, obvious pathfinding, some nice awkward crack climbing, nice stances, great views. Lead all.

First pitch a bit committing at parts. Wet at the crux after a few days of rain, but wasn't a problem.

2nd go on a warm day.

Loose at the start - make sure to check out the rock if building an anchor there. Got inspired when seeing some chalked holds at the start, but that got quickly replaced with full on moss. Some nice moves otherwise.

A few nice handjams that start and end with the more typical Stockholm trad climbing.

Nice moves, good pro.

Probably harder than a 4 for short folks.

Everything you'd want from an adventure climb: a grade given by "those that know how to climb chimneys", imaginative gear placements that are not exactly where you want them, loose stone that is funnelled towards the unsuspecting belayer, shaky chockstones and of course awkward climbing.

Followed Nina. The rating does not consider the approach or descent that we took.

Followed Nina

Followed Nina

Long time in the making! Did it without laybacking. Proudest send to date.

Followed Nina

Feels a bit adventurous. No need to drag up a #4 cam.

Good gear. Builds up to the crux. Was dirty, should be climbed more.

Got hot 'n shaky on this one.

20 meters of moderately steep crack climbing! Not sure how this one is not more talked about.

Followed Carly 20/7.

One move route, but still nice.

Actual jams

Not a fan of the bolting. Had a soft ground fall once when trying to clip the third quickdraw.

The slabby part was not my thing

Did the corner variant before, led normal pitch 2 today

A few nice jams.

Flashed after belaying Jana

Felt super nice to climb after figuring out the sequence

Followed 2019/06. Very nice for the grade.

With Nina. Lead all pitches. Last one was good but felt hard, was pretty tired by then. Belays require some engineering.

Awesome, but busy. Great rock, scenery and never too difficult. We ended up overtaking a pretty chaotic group of 4 climbers and another more experienced group stuck behind them at the crux pitch. The rappels are a bit dodgy, they're now different than what's described on the Rockfax book.

In 28 degrees so I'm going to count it as a 7a.

Hard onsite and an easy redpoint for a 7a.

Fun and felt easy, might be my style.

Felt harder than Ursprunget for me. Maybe missed some holds or I'm not the right height.

Followed Nina on her first trad lead!

Top ropped first half with doing placements. Looking forward to doing it for real

Surprise ground fall. Yikes!

First tried 2017/06, then top-roped 2020/07, now lead. A beautiful line with three distinct sections.

Slightly overhung with good jams and grips. Works well with lots of different techniques. Would be a mega-classic if it was more accessible!

Followed 2019/06. Bit uncomfortable placing gear at the start otherwise good climbing.

Mini-stålfinger. Soaked start then dry. Top-roped first. Easy to place small cams.

More interesting and consistent than premiär

The interesting section is pretty short

Wet ending on a wet day. Watch for rope drag.

Short and easier than the approach, but got to place some big cams with a nice view.

Nice short dihedral

Awesome climb for the grade. Long, even and well protected. Dry after a rainy day.

Not sure if I climbed this correctly, felt harder than Ormbiten and had worse pro

6c like the guidebook. Strengthy, fun!

Meandering

First 7b.

First 7-. Top-roped 2020/04. A classic.

2nd go from the bottom. Fun climb, obvious crux, easier than other 7s around.

Hard to read

Unexpectedly hard

Second onsight in this grade. Was searching where to go at the last bolt, ended up going straight up into the moss.

Californian onsight. Not much harder than the other variation.

Fun crux

Did it with trad gear. Surprisingly cool, there's not many overhanging trad routes on this grade around Stockholm.

Someone threw a plate over my head on the first attempt. Sent it on the second session, with some exciting rain starting mid-climb. Fun and varied.

Short but pretty nice

Watch out for the big flake left of the birch tree, it moves. Nice exposure, exciting ending.

Followed Carly

Downclimbed and stick-clipped the first bolt

Followed 2017/06

Led pitch 2

Windy and wet at the second crack after a rainy day. Varied climbing. Watch for rope drag when climbing with a single rope.

My first 7a+. Two sessions.

Team ascent with Carly, some gear already placed

Followed 2019/06

My first 7a, felt a bit easier than the others I've tried. 2 sessions, 5 attempts. Fun!

Mossier than Antipasta

Long and fun. Kept to the right on the first middle part.
