Climbing the Romsdalstigen Intro Wall, graded 'B,' was an absolutely exhilarating experience. Located in the breathtaking Romsdalen valley, this climb serves as a fantastic introduction to the region's vertical adventures. Despite its "intro" designation, the 'B' grade means it offers a good challenge without being overly technical. The ascent began with a scenic approach, building anticipation. As we clipped into the safety cables and started upwards, the exposure quickly became apparent. The route itself featured a well-designed mix of rebar, ladders, and natural rock holds, requiring concentration and some good arm strength. Each upward step brought increasingly panoramic views of the dramatic Norwegian landscape, with towering peaks and the winding river below. Reaching the top was incredibly rewarding, offering a profound sense of accomplishment and unforgettable vistas. It’s a perfect climb for those looking for an accessible yet thrilling taste of Romsdalen’s famed climbing scene, leaving you with a lasting impression of Norway’s majestic beauty.
