Rockfax Description
(a.k.a. Helvetesveggen/Hell's Wall) This 16 pitch route tackles the centre of the face via a soaring series of left-facing grooves. The first 11 pitches were climbed in 1984, then in 2009 a Russian team spent three nights on the wall and finished the route off with plenty of aid climbing. Some bolts were placed on the first attempt and the Russians placed more for portaledge belays. The hard climbing is concentrated in the upper sections up blank grooves. The route line and stances are confirmed but no specific pitch grades are known. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
About 500m, 11 pitches to high point. (Hell's Wall) This route, which was never completed, tackles most of the centre of Helvetestinden's huge West Face, rising above the superb Bunestranda. Start below a large groove-line in the centre of the wall. The first three pitches head towards this groove to several large ledges, then move left of the groove and climb flake systems back to the right until you are above the groove. There are 5 bolts for protection and belay anchors above the big ledge at the top of Pitch 3. The highest bolt marks the point of retreat.
