Helvestinden

This 610 metre high cliff is located on the southern island of Moskenesoeya. The abandoned beach settlement of Bunes just below it offers an incredible campsite too. Has it been climbed?

The French maybe?

Seems I remember a french team sieged this wall for a couple weeks back in the late 80's. I'll poke around in my files in Norway once I get back home and let you know.

Thanks for the info

Interesting to hear that it has been climbed, and I'm not suprised- such a beautiful, prominent cliff could not have been left untouched for so long...
Funny to think though, how if it were anywhere else in the world there would probably be a dozen well documented routes on it.
