Jacob on pitch 2 - 8a+, 3 kbA strong trio of British climbers - Dave MacLeod, Calum Muskett and Jacob Cook - recently travelled to Kvaløya near Trømso in Arctic Norway to attempt the first free ascent of the aid route Disko 2000 (A2+, 400m) on the island's highest mountain - Blåmman. Calum had one week less than Dave and Jacob to spend on the route, so the full free ascent was eventually only made by Dave and Jacob. The pitches were freed at 7b, 8a+, 7a, 8a+, 7c, 7c, 7b+, 7a, 7a, 6a, 6c, 6b+ and 5+.
