Pete Whittaker has made the first ascent of a big line on the Profile Wall in Norway which he's called Crown Royale.
As I understand it the line links a starting pitch in to Eigerdosis, another route he freed recently and suggested 8c for.
It all adds up to a pretty long pitch: 60m to the end of the steep section, then 20m of easier climbing before you untie and solo the last 20m to the top of the wall (or buy a 100m rope?)

That's fucking wild, what an effort, hats off.

Fair play, sounds a hell of a beast. The route too.

Awesome stuff!! Up there with the hardest trad routes in the world? Only a few tickling the 9th grade?
Must have been cold to have worn a jumper on an 80m pitch!!!

Yeah reckon it's got to be up there with Tribe, Bon Voyage and Recovery Drink. Sounds like he spent quite a while trying to link the first pitch in to it so can't be easy.
