Ascents in Mid Norway as Red point or First free ascent

I punted twice but it’s the coolest crag I’ve ever punted at!

Dream climbing destination, still in a bit of a “pinch me” state that I got to come here 😍

My biggest mental battle so far! Thanks Adam for the vision and inviting me to join the process. Really proud of this one, it has been one hell of a ride!

B.I.G. feels so strange to grade because it really doesn’t feel that bad if you try just the moves. The crux is an 8a+ boulder problem and by now I have it dialed so well that I can do it easily even multiple times in a row. But because of the very powerful style of the boulder it’s way more difficult to do it after 80+ moves of climbing.

To me it felt a whole step beyond Perfecto Mundo which seems confirmed at 9b+. This alongside reflections with Adam made me propose 9c for B.I.G. While in my eyes the range for grades up to 9b seem to have settled due to the total amount of routes and ascents, this doesn’t yet seem the case for 9b+ and 9c, where the possibilities for comparison are still very limited. There are not even 10 climbers that claim to have sent 9b+, and the total of routes graded 9b+ or harder is still below 15, most of which are yet to see repeats. This makes it obvious that confines for both 9b+ and 9c are still blurry and will develop over time and through ascents and shared opinions. I hope they will come soon!

Dave told me to go left, right worked for me

Took 2 goes at the start, did not think this climb flowed well

The crux is quite tricky, and the way I solved it was chalkless. Interesting route

Warm-up. Repeat

Flowy, very nice route. Was a bit wet and went the wrong way on my first attept, felt great on the second.

Hardest 6c ever! Took 3 tries and quite an awkward beta to solve. If it weren't for the crux and the length this climb would be incredible!

Project big was wet again so I had to try something else finally. Tried this fun bouldery route a bit 6 years ago, 2nd try this trip. Maybe not the proudest line but definitely fun to climb!

Helt ok, kunne fått en runde til med stålbørste. Fin om man vil perse vil jeg tro
