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..

Slab climbing then a jug fest to the chains

Crimps & slab lead to a steeper finish on good holds

The first route put up. Flowing movement up the scoop leads to crux just belay the chains

An easy starts lures you into the darkness. A unique route in this style for Lofoten

A short slab then burly moves to establish into the dihedral. It´s engaging stemming, side pulls and jamming from here to the chains.

Mixed line. Shares lower-off with Rutger Hauer.
