Vågarisset

6+ (Norvegean Grade), 70m, 2 pitches ...awesome huge crack in a blank wall high on "Vågakallen". You can easily see the route from the camp at "Paradiset", but the approach up there is really though (we called it vegetation-climbing in the 6th grade)... Peter climbed the first pitch (6a+/25m) which is a corner followed by a small roof and some vertical metres with great hand & fist-jamming. I led the huge second pitch (6b/45m) along the off-width, but didn't red-point it because it felt much much harder, about 6c/7a in my opinion (so i choose top-rope as ascent type)...at the platform after the crack we stopped, because the Lofoten guide-book didn't have any information about the next pitches...but it should be possible to continue i guess :)

Incredible crack, done by HC Doseth. A real good offwith fight. This is my best prestation til today.

Gick andreman. Jobbigt men fint!

A lot of love from the foreplay to the finish. Too tight for the #6, the description is fine.

Lead only the first pitch. For me that was scary enough. My god the second was a fight. Don't want to go back there. A year later I still haven't experienced anything like it in terms of fatigue and loss of goodwill.

Bailed after 1st pitch. Bigger gear needed! Approach is adventurous and requires bushwacking and scrambling with ropes. Takes at least 2 hours to reach the 1st pitch unless you know the approach in advance.
