The profile wall in Jøssingfjord

Jøssingfjord is surrounded by steep mountainsides and is a paradise for rock climbers. The most popular climbing area is Profile Wall, which features one of the world's toughest traditional routes, Recovery Drink (8c+).
The first attempts to climb the wall were made in October 1993. The wall lies in the valley on the left, just after you come out of the tunnel. The approach takes about 20 minutes, and is easiest to do by staying all the way under the walls on the right edge.
