Majeur, puissant, à doigts en bon dévers.

A.F. XIb

Second pitch of Norwegian Crown. Initially climbed as A2.

Reibung

Follows the crackline of Requiem and then splits off to the left for a direct finish. One of the hardest trad climbs in the world.

As Mari Augusta Salvesen puts it: "The route is a splitter crack, jams all the way, so I agree it looks pretty straight forward from the ground. And I guess it is pretty straightforward, but the steepness and flaredness just seem to tire you out. You're basically stuffing meat into slots that are either too big for fingers or too small for hands, then lock off and move on, with the occasional hand jam rest."

First peg replaced after failure which resulted in lengthy groundfall. Upper peg atrocious. Was E7 6c until undercut came off. Now pushing Eng 7a.

A left-hand start to 'Marbellous'.

Sick crimping up the righthand side of the wall, past a single peg. Maybe only 6c?

Direct start to Braille Trail up the arete and through the roof via the world’s hardest mantel.

Shares the start and end of Logical Progression, but tackles the direct and obvious long standing challenge; the improbable blunt arête and nose.
