  1. Up the corner on jugs then slabs to a grassy crack. Belay at a good stance below grassy ledges. A long pitch with some short runouts at the beginning.

  2. Out left from the grassy ledge & into the base of a left to right corner system. 5/10m of easy stuff then head out onto the arête where there´s a short sequence of hard moves. Continue until reaching a band of darker rock. Step right here to a small stance at the base of a dihedral.

  3. Steep finger jamming up the diherdral. Belay at good stance in a corner. An excellent pitch

  4. Straight up (loose) then out right where a short steep section gains the terrace.

  5. Ignore the guidebook and go straight up the clean crack to a good ledge.

  6. Rock quality deteriorates from here. There´s a comfy belay ledge 20m past the roof.

  7. More of the same to another big ledge on the corner.

  8. Og igjen..

One of the routes with better rock on Helvetestinden. The first pitch is softer than 7 (6+) but long (60m+) & bold. Double 3s & a 4 recommended for P3 (7-). Pitch 4 is long but closer to N6.
