That really is an excellent and evocative bit of filming - and an impressive few days of climbing. Of course Stetind isn't on Lofoten - but that doesn't spoil the story, Chris

10/10. Very enjoyable.

Stunning film, and brought back some happy memories of Vestpillaren and Stetind from an amazing trip last year. When can I go back?!

Brilliant film!! Went a few years ago. Probably the best place I've ever climbed. Pristine granite, it doesn't get any better.

Nor is it on an island! But yes, beyond the minor poetic license - fantastic film. The guys obviously know what they are doing, but I think I'd want to be wearing a helmet on the looser bits of some of the routes. Is there a proper topo of the French Pillar these days? If not, they could maybe draw one to give the rest of us mortals some idea as to whether we stood a chance on the route! Great film - brings back happy memories. It never rains when I go up there! (Well, almost never...)
