A rarity on Lofoten, a selection of hard and ever-dry sport routes, tucked away on the north east coast of Vesvagøy, far enough from the trad climbing heart lands not to cause too much of a fuss. The crag was discovered by Andreas Haug Christiansen in 2002, and with Knut Storvik, bolted what would become Gullfaks in early 2003. In February (well there is a little daylight!) Eggulf became the first route on the cliff, though most of the development took place in the summer of 2005 when Knut, along with Andreas and Odd-Roar Wiik took the place by storm. The crag faces due north though of course this is the Arctic so you can clip bolts at midnight bathed in full sunshine - how weird is that! The crag is steep enough to stay dry at all times, and the rock is not too hard on the hands.
