Managed to finish the trip off nicely with a quick redpoint of 'Butter Arms' at Paradiset. Entertainingly over the course of this trip my trad best effort has gone from 7a to 7c+ but stays at E7. It's nice to be climbing safer routes these days! Actually felt like there was a good amount of margin so hopefully an indication that 8's on trad/cracks are a reasonable prospect now. Back in Germany now and scheming for the return to Bohuslän.

The rain came as we drove away from Henningsvaer  ;D

I would say E7? Easy bomber gear placement and 7c+ seems about right. The rockfax tables and egrader seem to agree.
