Very happy about this one. Last day best day kind of thing. Had to dig deep to do some trying hard up there. Easy traverse followed by the crux on the headwall. First try on day 1, then 4 tries on the last day.

Pretty high for me. Some birdshit on the way. Climbing is good, if you like very steep stuff

Not that nice. Many very sections. Many sections where you will fall on a ledge also

Not to hard. Fun!

How is this 6b+? Really hard move low down. I ended up doing a very long reach and then a campus move. Other do a hugh heel hook ...

Steep

Tricky traverse

Nice one. Only one ot two hard moves. 6c in the guidebook and feels like one also.

Not that easy!

Fun and pumpy

Super good. Not so steep

First route on this trip.

Long pumpy technical

One toprope try, then got it one first lead. Big fight. Could be 7c+. Really good climbing, grey bomber limestone. Unfortunately the bolts reqlly make the carabiner twist because the holes are too small

3rd try. maybe 7c+ for short ppl. nice climbing.

technical boulder lower down, then hard to get over the bulge. Easier for the tall

hard. harder for shorties

hard. harder for the short

2nd try. Nice. Soft. Chipped

7b in guide book

good one

yeah! good one. 2nd try after I spoiled the os in 2023. Pumpy.

brilliant! takes nuts very well. felt relatively easy compared to the other start

great warm up, but a bit pumpy

second try, nice, cruxy

2nd try, missed the cruxial hold

brilliant! pur fun hand jamming. shame it is so short

tricky to shift the weight around the corner

nice one. wear crack gloves, quite painful without :) if you know how to place a hand jam, definitely not 7b.

also nicce

nice route or warm up or beginners

went far left on ca. second bold. going straight seems much harder than 7a

did the 6a+ variation first. 6c is not that hard

done on third try in three different sessions. Hard laybacking. Great fun. Safe 2x 0.3 for the top lay back to do list entry: fantastic line, epic fight, fell off two moves before reaching the final jugs before the last easy meters to the top :) happy to try again in less than 30 degrees temp.

beautiful splitter. thin hands. green/purple all the way. bit to short though :)

nice. big hands help. Did not feel that hard

really good! second try. Could be done on trad, but hard

7a for first pitch, 7a+ with extension

Phils fault

just fun

super technical, hard without tickmarks and beta

using the big jug up high, to the right. feels a bit off route to rest here, but super unlogical to not use it. done this way by others also apparently ...

hard boulder

really good route. Long-ish between bolts, but safe. Bolts are so-so, could be replaced. feels hard for 7c

hard

soft

brilliant. so much fun

Soft, easy, nice

done as trad line, easily protectable with 2x BD C4 0.2-3, maybe triples in green/red

great. madonna onsight 3 years after first try

pumpy gym climb

2nd try

2nd try. very solid 7c if you climb on the right at the last bolt (lots of chalk). escaping to the left, over the bulge, makes it a lot easier for me (no chalk). climbed the right hand version

very long, nice finish. bad quality rock in the middle. wear a helmet as a belayer and pay attention

pretty stiff

great climbing in the middle

superb and soft

varied, very good!

quite polished, very bouldery start. Pre clip 1st draw very much recommended

not so nice

very good. done as warm up ... easiest route around. Wall is too warm in the sun, but perfect on a cloudy day

feels harder than other 7b in the area. 2nd try. thanks to Tim from 27Crags for the beta

2nd try

soft. pumpy and steep

good climbing. felt easier than other 7bs in the area

good climbing, soft

grade or name not clear. on the lowest part of the wall. was very cold, only 1.5h of sun. with Jose and Chiara

the very top is maybe less nice for shorter people

first real try this year. tried a few times over the years

done as one long pitch

very good pitch. done as one long pitch together with Aus die Maus.

good climbing, just a bit short. went right at first two bolts. maybe more like 7b

weird

soft, so soft. 2nd try. no downgrades on 8a.nu. come on people :)

the only try given to a sport route on this trip. Ersfjorden is nice!

40m super

not a give away, good rock

nice climbing and good bolts :) quite easy for me, until you reach the bouldery crux just before the chains

bolts need to be replaced, quite rusty. climbing is good though! had lots of chalk and tickmarks on it. first real 7c onsight. yeay :)

not so hard for the tall people

top part is 3*, the lower part is a bit dirty, still very worthwhile route

fantastic

really good line, probably quite a bit harder if you dont have long arms. FA 17.05.2023

feels hard

bolt below the crux needs replacement

one of the nicer routes I have done

2nd try this season, one try last season. great line, hard fingerlocking and thin hands. Also climbed Orlando 7c and a second RP of Linda Poco Linda, trad 6c+ on the same day :D

yes! perfect conditions today and a mega fight to haul my ass up through the second crux through those letters. perfect conditions today. for sure the hardest I have tried being so close to fall off for several moves, but somehow not falling off. Thanks Graeme for encouraging me to give the last try from the ground and not from sitting in the rope :) probably not the hardest of the hardest 8b around, but for me harder than the other long established 8b in the valley (Hopp oder Flopp) so I think the grade is justified. (note to self Had to tweak my beta one last time. After the hardest move, i. e. bringing the left hand into the undercling/sidepull raise the left leg to the 8cm higher foothold and only then go with the right hand to the sloper)

2nd try. -3 degrees and no sun. So cold

i startet as far left as possible on two small crimps, legs basically underneath the boulder. thats how I understand the paper topo book that we had. In the book the traverse called Hurrigrutten here is called Fire and Fox, 7A. didn't feel like 7A though. more like 6c/+.

not sure about date. did it in 2022 summer I think. second try I think. very soft 7c+, more like 7c, but very nice. repeat alzheimer flash on 10/2023

done as one pitch

done as one pitch

done as one pitch

graded 9/9+ so 7c/7c+. For me (1.93m) felt more like 7a+ or 7b. Short and bouldery

done on trad

3rd sessions this season. some tries in the past as well. Training works! :)

2nd try. bouldery

second 8a, 6 tries. short and bouldery with nice crimps.

good warm up route

nice warm up

quite hard for 6b. nice

so good! tufa paradise again

so good! tufa paradise. pumpy

not 8a. 7c+ max i think. But also easier for the tall and my style. 3rd try. first 8a. Done first on 24.07.2018 (3 tries)

finally! multi year project :) ultra short, ultra technical route

vertical route with a bouldery crux on sharp holds. Happy to make this FA

7b+/7c in the topo. fantastic dihedral to start and a hard boulder on small crimps at the top

beautiful! compression moves on cracks and a pumpy finish

hard boulder at the top

kinda sharp rock, but nice climbing. pumpy

hard slab finish after good climbing through a short overhang and a roof

fantastic climbing on underclings with bad feet after the easy dihedral start

did not like it as much. kinda sharp and painful holds in the crux with weird moves. Harder for the tall

worthwhile route, very cruxy though at the second bolt

tricky and fingery boulder in the middle

nice slab route with a bit steeper crux at the start. ca. 6c obligatory moves between bolts

very tricky boulder at the bulge

just beautiful climbing. shame that it is so short

needed 3 tries. pumpy but really good

hard wrestle with the huge flake

fantastic line!

fantastic line!

great!!

2.5 tries. Exposed arete. Bouldery start

madonna flash. 2 bolts should be replaced

another bouldery crux. easier for the tall

all routes are heavily chipped at this crag

short and bouldery. nice for hot summer days.

Quite some loose rock. 35 m long. Well bolted route by R. Jasper in 05/20. Not the hardest 7b around

bouldery crux.

sharp and crimpy

2nd try. nice moves along cracks and underclings. hard 7b after a hold broke

new route by Robert Jasper, put up in May 2020. 2nd ascent?

2nd try. bit short but nice moves

harder than the other two 7b in this sector

some nice crack climbing, bolted of course

hard! route was quite dirty, looked like it hasn't been climbed in a while. Now it is clean :)

a short but tricky crux lower down

bouldery crux section, bit run out at the top

very technical on some sharpish rock

really good moves in the bouldery crux

quite pumpy, tricky at the top

super technical in the crux, got a bit lucky. dynamic move out left from an unstable position

climbing at its best. tricky layback and stemming action in this smooth runnel

super runout, a bit dangerous in the beginning even. Grounder danger from quite high up still. Besides that, super climbing!

Dave Graham Route. of course very bouldery, but nice

technical climbing. nice moves.

hard. technical slab into a even more technical dihedral. then nice and easy cracks to the chains

smooth and slabby. balancy moves

superb layback/crack climbing

super technical slab.

fingery, not so good rock

tricky to get over the bulge

nice crack

steep slap. technical start, then nice, flared crack

laybacking and roofing. I like

"warm up" screaming barfies big time.

madonna flash. Really good climbing. flared crack. with bolts

brilliant!! steep, nice moves
