Roadside crag. Climbing history is under investigation.
Northwest-facing, slabby, granite ridge with varied crack systems, 1200-1500 m long, up to approximately 250m high in places. Weather can change rapidly, so monitor the forecast and climb prepared. Mosquitos are intolerable (to the point constituting a serious safety hazard) during much of the summer, but usually die out early August.
Cliff may be loosely divided into several areas with abundant possibilities for first ascents. Center cliff is where the face descends all the way to the dirt road, and appears to have borne the most traffic. Left of center offers many potential lines. A low-angle, chossy segment separates left-of-center from far-left cliff, where additional trad lines may be found. Northeast of far-left cliff is an overhanging "alcove" area with some abandoned 1/4" bolts and dirty rock with steep moves that would require significant cleaning. Moving right of center cliff, the base of the cliff rises away from the road on loose, sandy ground, to multiple other possibilities. Beyond this is another chossy segment before coming to the West Buttress, the tallest segment with further unexplored possibilities. Beyond another section of choss, The far west end has a small, amphitheater-like enclosure behind a pair of old satellite dishes, though the area is compromised by extensive raven guano here.
From Kangerlussuaq drive over the bridge towards Tacan and you are there.
The airport at Kangerlussuaq is the main international airport of Greenland and has connecting flights to all other airports in Greenland.
