  • 13 pitches route on Norway's national mountain - Stetind. First 3/4 of the route is relatively easy, and the more difficult climbing on the upper part. This route took us about 11,5 hours in total from car to car, including 2,5 hours of approach and 6 hours of climbing.

    Pardon a potentially stupid question, but why do you lead with two ropes? I've only seen this when you have 2 followers

      Hi. Not a stupid question at all. Those are called half ropes. They are commonly used in trad multi-pitch climbing and alpine climbing. Usually in trad climbing, you cannot place the pros in one straight line (except if it is a single crack all the way up). The idea is to always clip the other rope on the left side and the other rope on the right side to reduce rope drag. You can find more info for example here: www.vdiffclimbing.com/half-ropes/

      @@mkclimbing You are climbing pretty far between the belays, so i was wondering if it was longer.
      Me and a friend want's to climb this route this summer. I hope I can mange to grow some bigger balls and do it 🤣🤣

      We simul-climbed the first three pitches, so that's why it looks like that. It was like 150m in total.
      There was like one harder part in the upper pitches, but the rest was relatively easy climbing. So no big balls needed 😂
