Nordic flower 8c flash by Moritz Welt
Moritz Welt has flashed his first 8c, Nordic flower in Flatanger. It took him 30+ minutes doing the 60m upside down climb and involved ten knee bars. (c) Franz Kaiser
"Just perfect. Planned to go for the flash before the trip, studied all the videos, watched some guys trying, gained endurance for 2 weeks and today finally executed it. Thx especially to Miro for the first pitch beta! One of the best routes I have seen!"
How did you like Flatanger?
The surrounding is totally impressive. Only rock and water. Some meadows and nice views. I think there's no need to say how impressive the cave is :) We also do some fishing here which is super fun.
