Routes in Trolldalen

Described in the 2009 AAC article Lofoten, International Winter Meet, [topo here][https://aac-publications.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/aaj-12201022000-1410349367.jpg)

One of the finest crack climbs on the islands. Starts at the base of the steep left trending arch. Approached by wandering left on the ledge after climbing P1/2 of Spurven or Colibrien. Needs time to dry, some micro wires & plenty of green/purple cams.

To descend

traverse over to the Colibrien rapp station (you may want to rope up when scrambling down the final section of slab).

1. Route starts on large grassy ledge right of Direkte-Innsteget in a right facing corner. Follow the crack right then some flakes to reach the right side of the roof. Traverse left to a small stance in the beginning of the large corner.

2. Climb the large groove, when it narrows move left to easier terrain. Flakes & short cracks to reach a ledge below two striking finger cracks.

3. Layback & jam the steep crack then up left side of the arête to a sheltered stance.

4. Scramble up the arête to the summit!

Located in a corner at the top of the grassy gulley on cliff to the right of Trollfestningen. Sarts at the same height as Spurven finishes. There´s a description in the old Ed Webster guidebook; 4 skyhook moves needed on pitch 4.

Located on the North face of Lille Vågakallen. Line starts up the right hand side of the prominant black streak.

Descend via 3 rapps

A fully equipped route on the clean white slab at the end of Trolldalen. Approach by walking along the left hand side of the valley and around the lake.
