The Next Best Thing, 6b+
300-350m of steeper ground, then 200-300 of easy but poorly protected slabs. The first 2 pitches of grade 6, then couple of 6+ pitches, rest easier up to 5+ according to topo. A bit stiffer compared to it's grade than most climbs at the Lofotens.

A month after getting rained away. Climbing in this setting is unreal and amazing. The route was good but not amazing. Pitch 5 was quite terrible with big loose blocks if you go too much to the right.
The way to the summit was long and we were happy to have 2 progress captures. We did 6-7 full 50m simul pitches. We managed with 50m, just the first pitch we made anchor once established past the exposed slab moves. Some simul also in the last pitches. Crux was a little tricky.

Följde Jimmy på alla leder. Fin klättring, slabbarna var imo för läskiga för att sola och klättrades med lägg även de.

Good place for a small adventure. Good climbing, especially the first four pitches. The grades are the same as for the rest of Lofoten in my opinion.
