Nordic Flower 8c in Flatanger by Gareth Parry (45)
Gareth Parry, #3 in a Boulder WC in 2003, has done the 55 meter long Nordic Flower 8c in Flatanger. (c) Esteban Lahoz
"Last year I went for a short trip to Flatanger where I mainly climbed os up to 8a+. I had a quick look at Nordic Flower but instantly knew it would take a more focussed visit.
This time I returned with one aim. More time and a relaxed and systematic approach to working it as 3 sections rather than considering it as one massive route meant it kept the progress coming. After climbing the 8b+ 1st around 4 times I managed to pass the boulder after the belay and clip the chains. It was a a dream end to the trip with the route going down on the last go of the last day. That evening we drove home."
