Ascents in Kvaløya

Wow! The rumours are true, this is an outrageous line! Too many cookies for me this summer to send the enduro pitch without pulling on gear

Erik gick först på de hårdare reporna. Jag fick klättra utsteget. Fin tur, men svårt att hitta insteget.

Followed crux pitch clean, lead the last 7- . Had to do a variant around a wet second pitch.

Sick route, amazing wall. French freed the cruxes, Most of the remaining pitches went free.

Finished up Krumtappen. The link up is one of the best routes on the wall!

Climbed the start of Ballongsnoppen

Part of a long run/scramble.

Ground up onsight FA, a proper adventure!

Thought we´d signed up for a casual stroll. Wrong. Climbs very old school

Pleasantly epic. Took extra 0.4-#1, which was nice.

Finished up Silhuetten

Quite horrible adventure for early rope climbing season. Started 8pm in good beautiful weather. Finding and following the route was not easy. Fog came around midnight, and later rain. We consumed all edibles and water quite early on this 12h adventure. Was horrible to rappel down on steep snowy-icy slope where one should have had winter shoes with crampons. Rappel anchors would have made it muuuuch better.

Trad

Led pitches 1,3,5 all clean. P2 clean. The crux pitch, did all moves free but needed a few ( quite a few) rests. The God of death, that’s how you feel after doing the 45 m overhanging hand crack. Mega classic.

Quick run up this morning before the weather changed.pitch 1, finally sussed the start, Pitch 2 amazing.P3 some pretty shallow placements.

Did this the evening we arrived, always good to suss out the descent route. Ended up “ scrambling” up too far and did first pitch of Varussen before getting onto route. 24 hour daylight is great.

Pitch 1 only. ( by mistake), mainly solo, then roped up for the last 5 m when it looked a bit serious.

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

Superfin!

Very good route!

Nice climb. Felt quite easy.
