When we were putting together the Lofoten Rockfax I had some conversations with Twid Turner and Pavel Jonak about their ascents up this incredible pillar of rock. The impression I got was how massive an undertaking any route is on here. Multi-day ascents, poor bivvys and gear hauling put Storm Pillar and Freya up with some of the hardest big wall climbs in Europe, but this new route has cranked up the difficulty level to a whole new level.

This really is one of the most impressive faces around and keep in mind the fact that the topo in the article is only the topo half of the route. The full wall is shown here - http://www.ukclimbing.com/images/dbpage.php?id=248480

Oh wow - excellent stuff. Vestpillaren in 43 minutes is pretty mind boggling too!
