7 pitches.
Rockfax Description
4 pitches. The classic of the area. Bølgen is easy to spot from the road despite the fact that the 3rd pitch is hidden by rock. The first pitch offers sustained (and good) ice to a belay on the right. The second pitch goes up to the point where the waterfall narrows. The third pitch is quite easy and this pitch can be stretched with a mobile belay, saving you one pitch. Follow two pillars to the top. Walk off to the right (west) and abseil from the trees. © Rockfax

βeta: Agree with the above - 6-7 pitches and very sustained for a straight 3 - I would give it hard 3/easy 4 . Loads of places to belay on nice ledges with trees. Start early to avoid a torchlight abseil and nasty stumble through the boulderfield and trees. definately a 3 star classic, but dont underestimate it. P.S. Its probably worth carrying a small rack of wires as there are a good few placements to suopplement screws and slings round trees. | βeta? | |
