Presten
It´s a small pullout that´s often full in high season. The descent will leave you at the Festvåg carpark so either get dropped off/hitch hike to the base or hitch hike back to your car from the descent trail. |
The descent
Follow path (East) with some exposed scrambling off back of Presten, and down to saddle (68.1800305, 14.2286126). Continue straight up the other side of the saddle, following the ridegline roughly South before joining main hiking track near Festvåg summit (allow 1-2 hours). |

★★★ Korstoget
Some excellent crack, slab and face climbing. The physical crux is bolted (and can easily be French freed). Images here: View this post on Instagram |

★★★ Ypperstepresten
This route can easily be done in 3 pitches to storhylla by stretching the first belay to a stance close to the roof (55m) and pitch 2 until one of the good ledges above the roof (45/50m). This avoids rope drag and bad communication for the roof pitch (P2). Protection is good (heart in the book dates back to before micro cams/totems) |

Excellent climbing from Storhylla up the corner system left of Vestpillaren (rejoins at the slanting corner stance). |

★★ Variasjon til en variasjon
Take the crack to the left from the pitch 2 Vestpillaren anchor. It´s nice, well protected climbing that´s handy for passing slower parties. |

★★★ Joika Ekspressen
A direct route straight up the middle of Presten linking together some excellent pitches from 4 classic routes. Scenic & well protected, it´s a particularly great outing for busy days on the Priest.

A variation to the start of Vestpillaren taking thin grooves in the blunt arete to the left. |

Holy Diver
Best attempted after a dry spell. Reports suggest the black streaked slabs after the 7+ climbing are not so nice when the wall is wet. Some images here- View this post on Instagram |
