The huge granite cave at Flatanger, Norway is a current climbing hotspot, with top climbers from all over the world hanging out there right now putting up new routes of the highest difficulty.

It didn't take Adam Ondra long to get in on the action (see previous UKC News) and now the young Czech has spent two days bolting his own line, which he estimates might be 9b+.

We sailed up that coast last summer - there is a long line of huge sea caves (well above the sea nowadays) there - the potential is almost endless. Chris
