→ Another 5.15 In Flatanger For Adam Ondra∞

Posted August 7, 2013 at 9:49 am · Comments { 0 } ·

Adam Ondra continues to use the Hanshelleren cave in Flatanger, Norway as his personal 5.15 playground, this time with the FA of Iron Curtain (5.15b). Lest you think 5.15b has become “easy” for him, he assures PlanetMountain that this is not the case:

9b (5.15b) standard for me? I wish! No, 9b is still a really hard route, certainly not something I would do in an afternoon without too much effort.

According to the same article, Ondra has multiple 5.15+ projects lined up and ready including one that is almost 200 feet long!

→ Favresse Frees Hard Crack Project In Norway∞

Posted May 28, 2013 at 7:54 am · Comments { 0 } ·

Belgian climber Nicolas Favresse has done the FA of The Recovery Drink in Jossingfjord, Norway, calling it his hardest crack climb yet¹:

I sent the pitch placing gear on lead except for a few pieces in the easier sections which I had left in place to make it easier to clean the route after each try, because it’s very overhanging. So a slightly purer ascent could still be done. The pitch is about 35m long and has no bolts, neither on the route itself nor at the belays.

You can see some footage of the route here.
