This Is First Ascent Trad Climbing

This is what you can expect from First Ascent climbing. Loose, dirty, filthy wet climbing. We attempt to make the first full free ascent of the free/aid line of Jumaristen A2/7

The route is on the North wall of Gloppedalen and the first ascent was done in 1995 by Olav Båsen, Kai Johannessen and Rolf Motland. They orginally climbed it all free except 2 pitches which had aid sections of A0 and A2.

Gloppedalen North Wall is known for being a little bit dirty, wet and loose, but this was certainly the most of all three of these factors that either of us had experienced on the. Overall we found that it was a fantastic rock climb if you are in to that esoteric type of stuff.

Climbers are Pete Whittaker and Mari Salvesen. The whole climb went free at a grade of around E5 6b (but one which needs a certain type of climbing appetite to overcome it). All pitches followed the original aid line apart from the final pitch. The last pitch of climbing had fallen down recently so we had to take a variation out to the right.
