A fjord to the summit adventure, reported to have been climbed in a day (12 hours!) The route begins left of the large groove defining the West Face with 20 or so easy slab pitches before another 10 or so steeper pitches lead to the West False Summit (33 pitches total). From here, continue to the summit via Vestveggen (20 pitches). Image here: View this post on Instagram FA: John Wittle & Chris Dale, 1976 | 53 | |||

The original line was first climbed in winter and starts in the same position as Vestveggen, following a more direct path sightly left of Vestveggen and slightly right of the defining large blocks which lean into the West Face. Stated in the guidebook as having easier route finding and better climbing, it´s actualy neither of those things; Expect just as nice climbing with just as difficult route finding!

The striking West ridge is the obvious path to the summit from Vestveggen. The route starts below the obvious wide crack, which was first climbed in 1937 (& an amazing achievement for the era).

The most popular route to the summit is well protected, moderately graded & in an absolutely fantastic setting. One of Norway´s best ridge traverses. There is a route description & topo available from the climbing club. Walk off the back & don´t rapp as described (it´s not really known if that line actually exists!)

The difficulty of the climbing is primarily grade 3+/4-, but with some shorter sections of grade 4. The route starts up an obvious finger crack splitting the slabs at the base of face. Traverse left after the finger crack and continue up the left of the two obvious dihedrals on the upper part of the face. Apart from some poorly protected slabs the route is well-protected and with little vegetation. Low-angled slabs, cracks and dihedrals leads up to the shoulder and the descent route.

Mostly moderate climbing (grade 4-5) with a long and nice dihedral as the crux section. The climbing is mostly made up of dihedral formations and knobby slab sections. A 70 meter-rope & a running belay was used on easier parts of the first ascent. Using a shorter rope would probably increase the number of pitches to about 15, but there are plenty of opportunities for good belays on the whole route.

There´s some initial admission ticket vegetation climbing on the lower portion of the route. The remaining pitches are high quality climbing on good friction granite. A long traverse to the right below the top third of the face (after 5 pitches) leads to the base of two obvious dihedrals. The biggest dihedral to the left has a lot of vegetation, so climb the right hand one. This is the crux section of the route and starts with a perfect finger crack that eventually turns into a hand crack (#3 Camalot). The crux section is steep but is easily aid climbed if you can't manage the 7+ climbing. Some images here: View this post on Instagram FA: Jo Espen & Stian Bruvoll, Jul 2019 | 530m, 10 | |||

An outrageous, overhanging open project. The first pitch is bolted and has not been freed, the 2nd pitch goes on gear but has only been top roped clean. Best approached from the West by parking just before Skjellesvikskaret. A faint climbers trail trends right across the base & up to the lake where open grassy slopes lead to the top of Kjerna.
