Puffrisset On Honnikornsvaet

Norway

Go back to Stetind Road Trip.

Puffrisset — Puffrisset.

We got one more day of good weather and climbed the short but aesthetic Puffrisset (4 pitch, N5+) on Honnikornsvaet above Kallebukta and its beach. Fun crack climbing on pitches 1, 2, and 4 but the runout slab pitch made me bail to the adjacent veggie dihedral. As we were baking in the afternoon sun, the beach below was beaconing to us and so that’s how we burnt the final afternoon in Lofoten.
