Trollveggen
The Trollveggen ( Troll Wall ) is Europe's highest steep wall and rises about 1700 meters above the valley floor. The vertical part of the wall is up to 1000 m high and overhangs up to 50 meters. In 1965 the wall was climbed for the first time by a Norwegian and English team within 14 days. The teams chose different routes , with the Norwegian team arriving at the summit a day earlier. The route of the English rope team, the Rimmon Route ( difficulty UIAA V ), is now considered the more popular ascent. In 1974 she climbed through a team around Wojciech Kurtyka for the first time in winter. Four years later it was freely climbed for the first time . There are now over ten routes known through the wall, most of which are big big wall climbs .
The wall was a popular starting point for base jumpers until a ban was issued in 1986 after several deaths.
