Hi,

Came across this ridgeline whilst doing a little research on Senja in Norway. Called the Oskornan (Devil's Jaw), anyone know any more? Looks spectacular

Following, that looks mindboggling. Not a lot climbing related I can find about it either in English or when searching for 'Oskornan klatring'

Wow, even looks good on Google Maps, where most things get "softened".

Ask Bent Eilertsen at Senja Lodge Mountain Guides, he knows its history, he is the local guide. It is a great place to visit.

There are a couple of alpine lines on that side of Ersfjorden.

Pic is a shameless plug, but those mountains are stunning in winter.

And these guys did the traverse.

Google translate should be OK, but there is a lot of dialect.

That was exactly my thought!

I can't see any dialect, its just Norwgian bokmål, even though Signar (the climber who owns the blog) is from Lurøy
