攀登 in Northern Norway as Flash

I led second picth, Cailtin the first and 3rd. Fun climb.

First of parties on the route, the down side it was the breeziest day we had encountered in the past 7 weeks. Had planned to lead in blocks of 4 to stay warm, but I was still shivering uncontrollably after 4 pitches which didn’t stop until we got to the sun on pitch 10. Great climb, lots of laybacking but with frictional feet not arduous. The descent takes some energy and down climbing too. I was sick of the back pack by the end of the day

Much easier when we got on the right route.

Climbing in the Watagans has made me so used to sandbagged slabs that I really didn’t question that I wasn’t on the 6 a+ we thought we were doing (non updated digital Rockfax) despite a hard move involving a mono and some tenuous footers. Did clip anchors of 6 a+ on the way because they are in reach before going to this routes anchors above. A little too close to the route to the right at the last bolt.

A late start after yesterdays rain, and watching the game ( sigh) saw us alone here clipping bolts. Beautiful setting, great featured slabs, good bolts, fresh raspberries on the walk in and easy parking that didn’t leave us grappling with yet another app- what’s not to like

Good sequences following Dave

Doesn’t climb much like a dihedral, lovely wave pocketed rock, grade 18 at least

Grade 20. Stupid finish.

Is a 7- in guide but wasn’t too bad ( since I backed up piton with a preplaced long sling.

One long pitch. A bit discontinuous

The rock looks bad but nothing came off. A steep jug haul

The good bit is quite short

Did it without the right chalked up flake and went direct over bolts. Climbed ok but the nearby crack and bolt placements made it feel contrived

Not sure why the rope ladder is there, the start was fine without it. Maybe adds a grade. Nice long route and intro to the rock.

Short but nice

Interesting and quite steep.

Over 35m, pitch one is 30 m, pitch 2 about 15 m. The top bolt bracket is missing but easy to step right into adjacent line for finish anyway

Juggy/flakey route, crack at the start was nice, average from there
