Presten
Korstoget, 6c+
(The Crusade) A fine and bold route up the cracks and grooves just left of the nose of the cliff. The final section follows the long loose corner system. Carry a full rack up to (and including) a large cam. Begin up a pale, right-facing, 20m high groove below and left of the 'Big Roof'. FA. The first ascent of To krigere by Sjur Nesheim and Yngvar Julin in 1981 included pitches 8 to 11 for the first time. A similiar line to today's pitches 1 to 4 was first climbed by Håvard Nesheim and Tom Pedersen in 1979, but they finished up Vestpillaren. In 1980, Sjur Nesheim and Kjell Skog descended from the top of pitch 5 without bolting the crux slab. Bengt Flygel Nilsfors and Odd-Roar Wiik then added the necessary bolts and linked the complete free first ascent together, on their fifth attempt, in 8.1992.
