Begehungen in Kvaløya

Interesting slab and corner

Short but nice

Quite fun and great views

Interesting and quite steep.

Pitch 1 only. ( by mistake), mainly solo, then roped up for the last 5 m when it looked a bit serious.

Did this the evening we arrived, always good to suss out the descent route. Ended up “ scrambling” up too far and did first pitch of Varussen before getting onto route. 24 hour daylight is great.

Quick run up this morning before the weather changed.pitch 1, finally sussed the start, Pitch 2 amazing.P3 some pretty shallow placements.

Led pitches 1,3,5 all clean. P2 clean. The crux pitch, did all moves free but needed a few ( quite a few) rests. The God of death, that’s how you feel after doing the 45 m overhanging hand crack. Mega classic.

Interesting route on some large quartz holds

Nails crux, felt more 22 +, given N 7- in local guide. Nice moves, some flaky flakes

Seems the main route now on head wall

Over 35m, pitch one is 30 m, pitch 2 about 15 m. The top bolt bracket is missing but easy to step right into adjacent line for finish anyway

Couldn't do the last move. Everything in Småbakkan feels very sandbagged.

First pitch only for now

First pitch only
