Description
High quality granite, this is one of the longer routes on Kjerag and doesn´t see much sun. It is possible to collect water on route and there are good bivy spots starting at Lunsjblokken (the lunch block) atop pitch 7
Pitch:
The first five pitches follow the line up to the tree that is visible on the horizon.
1. 45m 5.10a The first 30 feet or so are a bit loose with plants growing. Otherwise good climbing.
2. 45m 5.8 Good climbing in quality rock. Follow the gulch up.
3. 45m 5.10b "Dobbeltriss" double cracks, gully, to a dihedral.
4. 30m 5.11a Sustained and steep cimbing up a mini dihedral/crack. Excellent climbing!
5. 45m 5.10b/c The first 15-ish feet can be a bit wet, otherwise good climbing.
6. 50m 5.9 Traverse to the left over easy, compact slab under "Hvite veggen" (The White Wall) and up to "Lunsjblokken" (The Lunch Block) Good Bivi
7. 45m easy scrambling Traverse to the left to the base of "Megablokken"
8. 20m 5.6 Up and to the left towards "Vannhullet" (The Watering Hole)
9. 20m 5.6/A1 Fingercracks up the lefthand side of the chimney. The chimney can be climbed at about 5.5 but is wet.
