UKC Logbook Description
La Vida Joika follows the most obvious crack system from the bottom to the top of the upper Lyngvaer wall. The route is characterized by sustained physical movement on good quality rock much steeper than typical Lofoten routes and very good protection. 2 steep trad approach pitches lead to the exposed bolted crux pitch.

Pitch 1- (N7) Technical stemming pitch, small, good gear 30m. Bolted belay. Scramble left to base of P2
Pitch 2- (N7) The enduro pitch 50m. Bolted belay on top of pillar (this pitch is recommended as one pitch ledge to ledge but can be split at the intermediate rap anchor, hanging belay). 2 x #4 plus a #5 & #6 are nice to have.
Pitch 3- (N7+) Technical slab work up the ramp to the top of the wall. Bring micro cams (green & purple C3) for after the last bolt 20m. Bolted belay

Rap the route with 1 60m rope in 4 rappels.
