There's something about seeing bolts next to cracks that makes my stomach turn. But at F8c, this is gonna be hard on natural gear:

'The first part is steep- with pinches, crimps, slopes and underclings, and the final 7 meters ends with a very steep crack.'
You going to solo the first bit, (21 metres), Meshuga style then pop a runner in the crack just in case?

Typical European..... getting the layback on. All that fitness - they just don't know what to do with it!

Lars Ole is a good man with solid ethics, the crag is bolted and it would be a bit daft to have an 8c on gear there. Bear in mind this is only the 3rd or 4th 8c in Norway and there are no 8c+'s.
Apparently it is so steep in the crack that jamming is not really gonna work, it is basically the Yorkshireman on top of an 8b. Looks cool!
